1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
As the photos changed more and more makeup was added to the model to cover up her imperfections. Also her eyes were enlarged using photoshop.
2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
Personally I don't think it is ethically acceptable for someone to change a person's appearance like that but, apparently society finds it a normal and OK thing to do.
3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
Yes I think it would be ethically wrong if they were to show these kinds of things to third world countries. It's hard enough that they have to live harsh lives day by day and these kinds of ideas would just add another burden on those people who are living harsh lives.
4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
I would agree with a small amount of makeup but the heaps of makeup plus the photoshop would just be unacceptable and is going overboard.
5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
In fashion photography photos are mainly focused on model and the latest celebrity outbreaks, whereas the photography in photojournalism encompasses nature and objects of all kinds and different kinds of people.
6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each? The messages that the photos in the video give out affect how young people view what is ethical and what isn't ethical in society and in reality to an extent. Young people begin to believe that this is what defines beauty and if you aren't what it shows than you aren't beautiful.
