1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
They elongated her neck, made it smaller on the sides,thickened her eyebrows, and took some extra weight off the sides of her face, making her face look longer.
2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
I think it us ethically unacceptable to change a person's appearance like that, because it's not showing the world a real person. Its showing the people a mechanically altered person, something that they or anyone else for that matter, will ever be.
3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
Maybe where they are claiming or selling a product that states that it changes something, and they change it in photoshop or something instead of the claim or product.
4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
I think changes in the brightness and contrast, or color are okay, but changing the actual subject of the photo is not acceptable.
5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
I think in fashion photography, it's mainly selling a product. They are advertising the makeup or the clothes or the shoes so they have to make it look perfect. In photojournalism they are showing the truth and issues that are real.
6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
Fashion photography has more of a relationship to where they try to get the people to want what they have, so they try to portray an image that is perfect, so everyone wants it. In photojournalism, they have more of a relationship in showing the people what really happened, so it's their duty to portray the truth and nothing but.
