I believe this photo is the most unethical out of the ones displayed because it is sending a message that there is one female body type that is acceptable for fame and Oprah Winfrey did not have it. It is degrading to women and makes them appear as objects rather than people. There isn't one universal definition of beauty, but the photo editor of this photo makes that seem so with the alterations of this photo. It causes girls to become insecure with their bodies if every female in magazines, on TV, or in movies looked like this and, at this time at least, it seemed that if you happened to be a female with fame you had to look a certain way or you were altered to the public.




This photo is the least unethical in my opinion because the only difference is that some things were darkened. No human body seems to be altered, no altering of position, one just has darker shading. I'm not sure what the photographer was trying to achieve by changing the brightness of the photo but it doesn't make a significant enough difference to be deemed totally unethical. It was more unnecessary than unethical, in my opinion.
