Fashion Photography

1. The changes made to the model's face and body were that they made her...
-eyes bigger
-mouth bigger
-neck longer
-shoulders narrower
-face slimmer
-hair bigger

2. The changes made to the model's face and body were that they made her...
-skin lighter
-legs longer
-eyes bigger
-lips bigger
-neck longer
-shoulder smaller
-nose smaller
-stomach thinner
-butt smaller
-skin smoother

3. The changes made to the "model's" face and body were that they made "her"...
-literally everything was changed because "she" was a pizza...

4. I don't think it's ethically acceptable to make these types of changes to a person's face because the companies are showing a person's face that doesn't even exist. People are going to want to look like the models that they see, but they don't even know if that face exists at all. So I think photos are much better off not being altered, or being altered only to correct the colors in a picture.

5. It would be especially ethically unacceptable to do these kinds of changes when people's skin tones are altered, or the shape of their eyes or their mouths. There shouldn't be that much change of a photo.

6. Acceptable changes are changing the color of an article of clothing that a model is wearing, but it's not acceptable to change the color of someone's skin or the shape of their face.

7. Fashion Photography focuses mainly on people whereas photojournalism can focus on nature or an activity or people. Also, I imagine that photojournalism requires more writing that Fashion Photography does.

8. Photojournalism focuses more on natural reality and Fashion Photography focuses more on altering reality. That makes photojournalism more ethical and Fashion Photography less ethical.

9. These three videos may have been showed to us because we have a portrait project coming up and you don't want us to make that many changes to the people we're taking pictures of.

10. I think none of these videos are about men because male model's pictures are not altered nearly as much as female model's pictures are. It could also be because there are just not as many male models as there are female models. Also, the male beauty standard isn't nearly as high as the female beauty standard today. Female models have so much pressure to have a perfect body or perfect skin, so that's why companies change their pictures so that it seems their models are the "perfect person". With guys, however, the beauty standard isn't that high. They don't have that much pressure to have a perfect body, or perfect skin, or perfect hair. That's why the male pictures aren;t altered as much. It's not as important that males are perfect than females.
