Fashion

1:  The changes that were made in video 1 were, they made her eyes bigger, her lips bigger, her neck longer, and her cheekbones more defined.

2: The changes that were made in video 2 were, they changed her skin tone, her eyes bigger, shapes her nose, her legs longer, her head smaller, her nose shape, and added a wig. Way too many changes it looked like a completely different person by the end.

3: The changes that were made in video 3 were, she was a pizza, now she's a human. Which means pizzas have a gender.

4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not?

I feel like it always depends on what it is. I can't say yes or no because for me it just really depends. Completely changing somebody's body type is wrong. It makes these impossible expectations for boys, girls, women, and men. I know, i'm a girl and sometimes seeing these body types or perfect skin can be hard to see sometimes. When you're looking at a billboard or an ad thinking about all the photoshop that went into it isn't what people are going to first think about.

5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?

When people change the models body types, that is a big deal to me. Changing someones body type is so wrong. It sets expectations and things that we can't meet.



6. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?

Sometimes there may be a pimple or a stray hair, which I feel like are okay to fix, but i'm also not saying that completely smoothing somebody's face to make it look like a barbie is what is right either. There needs to be a balance between making it as good as you can and making it completely fake. 

7/8. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
Fashion photography wants to sell, promote, and capture the body or person selling something. Photojournalism captures a story. Photojournalism keeps it real and Fashion Photography does not.

9. Why do you think I am showing you these three videos?

It's honestly a good thing to see. It can be hard to realize or remember that a lot of what we see today is altered. Also hoping that was showing us what not to do as journalist!!



10. Why are none of these videos about guys???

Good question, I feel like there are a lot of photos altered of guys but we don't talk about it as much and that reason I don't know. I have seen a few photos of Justin Bieber or another famous guy where its a Calvin Klien Photo shoot or one of those and it shows the before and after of them being photoshopped.
