Fashion Photography


1.The computer smoothed out the model's moles, made her nose smaller, her eyes bigger, made her lips bigger, and made her neck longer.

2. The changes to the model's body made by the computer were a flatter tummy, longer legs, longer neck, lighter skin tone, and flatter bottom.

3. The model was made slimmer and given longer hair. She had a much smaller frame than before.

4.  If someone were to drastically photoshop someones appearance like presented in these photos and sell them like they weren't photoshopped, it would be very unethical. False advertising is lying to everyone who views it, and lying to a large viewership is extremely unethical.

5. The most ethically wrong instance to drastically photoshop is for teen magazines. This is because young, impressionable girls read those and they will only be able to see an "ideal" body image presented to them, that isn't even real.

6. The type of photoshop changes I think are okay are lighting fixes and hiding acne. The type that aren't are the ones that manipulate with body image, making someone significantly larger or smaller, and also drastic reconstructions of the face.

7. Photojournalism captures what actually happened in the best of its ability, while fashion photography just tries to sell what they think the public wants, even if that means being unethical with photoshop and basically lying. 

8.  Photojournalism is trying to capture reality as well as it can, but sometimes people in the field are unethical and enhance photos to make for a better story. Fashion photography is more creative and the public is just supposed to see what the magazines want them to, it doesn't matter how much of it is actually real to them.

9. You showed us these videos to show that not all versions of photography practice ethical approaches and to be cautious when entering the photography world.

10. Men are not as objectified as women are in fashion photography for their face and body images. Their goal is to make all these women big eyed dolls just to view for their beauty, not the product they're actually selling.
