1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer.
The changes that were made in the model's face were that they made her lips bigger, fixed her hair, made her neck longer and thinner, her eyes bigger, her ears smaller, made her eyebrows longer and thicker, and her face skinnier.
2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
I think that it depends, because if the model is okay with them doing that to her than there's nothing wrong with the people to change it. But it also gives people a wrong picture of how a model should really be.
3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
Yes, because the models don't look like that in real life and they make other women feel unsecure of themselves.
4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
I think that it was okay for them to fix her hair, but the rest of the things weren't. Specially when they made her face and neck look thinner.
5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
In photojournalism we don't edit the pictures, like they do for fashion photography. They edit the peoples faces and their body. In photojournalism we take pictures and show people what we took a picture of and show what that person really looks like without the editing.
6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
It makes people think that they should look like all of the models that they see in the advertisements.
