FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY

1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
The changes that were made to her face were her eyes, eyebrows,nose, chin, face shape, and mouth.

2. List the changes that were made to the model's body in the computer. (Look carefully)
They tucked in her stomach AS WELL AS HER WHOLE BODY. They made her neck longer, they made her nose smaller, eyes bigger, face more angelic. They also basically spray painted her whole body and made her legs and feet smaller and longer. They made her butt smaller too which doesn't make all that much sense cause the big deal now is big butts. 

3. List the changes that were made to the model in the computer. (Look carefully)
They made her extremely thin, made her hair longer, and rounded her butt and boobs and flattened out her natural curves.  

4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not?
No, I don't think it's acceptable because you are changing that person and stripping them of their natural beauty. 

5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
Nope, it's completely wrong because the public is being lied to and they think that this beauty is what they have to become to be socially acceptable. People shouldn't be lied to about appearance because that's what most people are insecure about.  

6. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
Making the skin smoother and filling in eyebrows and such is alright. Any edits that can be done with makeup are alright. 

7. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
Photojournalism does edit certain things in a photo but fashion photography changes the whole subject into something fake. 

8. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
It shows how the public views beauty in this era.

9. Why do you think I am showing you these three videos?
To open our eyes about the corruption of today's media and view on beauty. 

10. Why are none of these videos about guys???

Because guys don't care what they look like for the most part and aren't pressured physically, and they also do not wear makeup or other cosmetic things for the most part.
