1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
The models face was changed when they made her neck look longer, they made her neck look smaller or skinnier, they moved her eyes down, they made her eyes look bigger, they moved her hair down a little bit, and they also made her face look skinnier.
2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
It is not ethical to change a persons look because they should be perfect just the way they are. Nobody should need to get anything "fixed" to look beautiful. Everyone has there own beauty and it shouldn't be changed because of what someone else's opinion is on beauty.
3.Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
Yes there are circumstances. If it was dealing with someones weight, race, or facial features it would be completely unacceptable.
4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
Changes that affect peoples appearance is not acceptable at all. You should never change the way someone looks because they aren't good enough. Other things like changing something on the clothing or changing something that is in the way for example: a piece of hair that is sticking up is acceptable.
5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
Fashion photography focuses more on being beautiful and displaying different types of clothing. Fashion photography is only focusing on fashion and on nothing else. Photojournalism is focusing on many things all around the world. You aren't limited to just one topic.
6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
If you take a photo and fix just little things then it will still be ethical. But when you start changing big things then it changes the whole photo and the perspective of what people think is unethical.
