Fashion Ethics

They changed Her face size, how big her eyes are, her nose, eye color,


In your opinion, explain if you think it is ethically ok to change a person's appearance like this in a photo.
I dont believe that it is right, because they are changing the perception of beuty, which makes girls, and boys for that matter, have diffrenet views on whats right or not, like how skinny they make those girls look in magazines n stuff like that.

Under what circumstances is it worse than others?
to show how a person is doin in a magazine and stuff like that.

What types of changes are ok, and what aren't?
like scratches, bluryness, lighting, and cropping are ok

Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
fashion is to show what people are wearing, and photojournalism has an actual story behind it, and has a purpose.
What relationship does each have to reality, and how does this affect the ethics of each.
fashion is a reality because it's showing what people are wearing at that moment in time, and photojournalism is to show what people are doing at that moment in time

Photojournalism Ethics

Should a photojournalists ethics be absolute or situational? Why?
I think it should situational, because not all things are going to be excepted in some situations, aso you cant just set an ethic because some people make take it personaly, or might not even care.

Can a photo really capture truth? Why or why not?
it can, but that's not a everyday thing. its true that some people just can't handle the truth, and in return you cant jus put it out there like that.

What decisions have you made as a photographer that "edit" reality? Explain.
well it's not always good to show the "bad side" of something, but sometime you just have to, so you have to capture that in a certain way.

Why is it important that news organizations have clearly defined ethical standards?
so we know what would be considered ok in situations such as 9/11 or just a simple party thrown by the richest man in america, ya know?

becuase of the high F stop, not all of the picture was in focus, the two players on the bottom are a little unfocused.... but because of the high shutter speed he was able to catch the other player basicly flying over them
