dove fashion (sorry i went overboard with this)

1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
 (before photoshop)she had her eyebrows filled in, had contacts put in, foundation and toner on, blush, fake eyelashes, eye liner, lip liner, lipstick and gloss, hair curled, (after photoshop) defined hair, sculpted the lips, made neck longer, took visible blemishes off, aligned her eyes and eye brows, sculpted the nose, defined eye color, curved her shoulders, popped out collarbones more, made face skinnier, made eyes bigger.
2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
no because it looses reality and makes people believe in things that are not real, and people then eat their feeling like in mean girls, then they get bullied and everyone wants to look like something they are not, which makes this world so hard because everyone is trying to look like something that was created by a computer. everybody will die trying to be something that was never real which is actually the saddest part of this.
3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
yes, photoshopping lets say, a video image that could prove that someone was innocent but being lied to and having their picture there instead of the actual killer. that persons life is ruined and no one will ever believe that he was innocent while we have a criminal loose on the streets. but then again, its also bad everyday to do this. it  warps reality and now a day people are so gullible that they try to be something thats fake and people set higher standards according to these pictures,
4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
lilght is ok. 
whats not ok is to move someones head up or down in the video and change their have completely 
5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
fashion photography uses so much more photoshop than photojournalism because fashion eople try to get others to buy their products and by having someone "ugly looking" isn't going to get them to their goal so the use ps to "enhance" their pictures tp turn someone average looking into 'OHMYGOSH I WANNA BE JUST LIKE HER/HIM' while photoj just chills and is like 'hey, this is what reality looks like. come check it out. you don't have to look like that'
6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
fashion believes that beauty is so much more valuable than reality because if they thought that reality was better they wouldn't do so much to change a persons look. 
photoj used the least amount of ps because they believe that people have the right to know how life actually is. there are no such things as ugly people, they just don't know how to dress. reality is one of the best things to some like photoj unless you're in the fashion industry.
