Ethics In Fashion Photography.

1. They changed pretty much everything. Her head was raised to give her a longer looking neck and her hair was moved to make her neck look slimmer. Her eyes were lowerd and made bigger. Her face was darkened in some areas to make her cheekbones more noticable. And her lips were moved to look fuller.

2. I think it is not ethical to change a persons looks like this. Even if the person volunteers for something like that, it can still lower their self asteem and the way they look at themselves. It also sends the wrong message to little girls, "Why cat I look like that?" It sucks to think your not pretty like the models and sometimes they arent even as pretty as they look in pictures.

3. No, it couldnt be more ethically wrong. Its already horrible enough to me. But of course they could take a really overweight woman and make her look like a size 2, but how is that much more wrong then what they've already done ?

4. It could be okay to change photos if there was something really wrong with it or if you wanted to change it for a good reason...

5. I dont think theres a huge differance between photography and photojournalism. Every thing in the picture is a model. They both are displaying something whether it be a person or object.

6. Taking a photo is like catching the moment on film. Theres that saying "A Pictures Worth A Million Words". Pictures tell a story of whats going on in the world. What is and isnt ethical.
