December 7th (continue) Fashion Ethics

List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
The Make-up drew her eye brows, put lip liner on her, put blush and all that kind of stuff on her (make-up)
The Hair Designers First Curled her hair.
and they edited the picture some how and made her neck longer, her eyes bigger, and her lips wider.

In your opinion, explain if you think it is ethically ok to change a person's appearance like this in a photo.
i dont think its okay to change a persons apperance because they are who they are.

Under what circumstances is it worse than others?
when you minipulate a ugly girl to a pretty girl then thats just messsed up you can really fool someone like that.

What types of changes are ok, and what aren't?
i dont think the changes they did to that girl is okay but whatevr it takes them to make money then thats them. what is okay is putting make-up and doing hair and normal stuff like that not editing the photo in the computer.

Should a photojournalists ethics be absolute or situational? Why?
I think it should be situational because the photo that was taken can be really good and have like the person flicking off the camera but irt stil could be a good pic.


Can a photo really capture truth? Why or why not?
i think a photo cannot capture the truth unless the photogreher has the camera with them when something is really happening. they are carrying it around knowing an even is happening.



What decisions have you made as a photographer that "edit" reality? Explain.
Why is it important that news organizations have clearly defined ethical standards?
i think its very imkportant the news orginizations have clearly defined standards because you dont want to read a papre and be lied to about what going on or have a fake picture or something
