1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
-her blemishes were covered
-her skintone was changed
-her eye color was changed
-they altered her facial features on the computer
-they made her eyes bigger
2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
No. You're not showing the real person. It's no different than putting a mask on.
3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
-to embarass a person by adding something to the picture that wasn't there before
4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
Makeup is okay, but in my opinion natural beauty is better.
5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
Fashion photography- the world has a certain view of models & think that's perfection, but in reality the models don;t even really look like that.
Photojournalism- the pictures can be altered, but most of the time you can still see the natural beauty of the shot.
6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
Each photography has its own way of twisting reality. This causes people to live in a "different world." They think this is what something real looks like & most of the time it's the exact opposite.
