Ethics of Fasion Photography

1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)Model's fly away hair was removed, face made taller, neck made taller and thin, nose and eyebrows altered
2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?No because it is not the true person it is like publishing a book and writing a different name for the author.
3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation? Yes it could be when someone is trying to incriminate someone such as a political figure,etc.
4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?The types of changes such as removing fly away hairs from someones photo to improve the quality to there photo is acceptable, however when they start to do physical changes. the photo does not even look like that person anymore.
5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.Fashion mainly concentrates  on they "beauty" of someone and does not have much of a wide range as photojournalism does.
6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?  Each type of photography is documenting something which is very hard to be able to tell witch is telling the truth. Fashion trys to promote something, sell shoes, clothes. product, etc. compared to photojournalism which is trying to get news out to the public they are benefiting the public not trying to make you buy something.
