Fashion Photography

1. In the computer, the model's lips were made bigger, her eyes were made bigger and moved on her face, her neck is made thinner and longer, and her face is made skinnier.
2. The model's body is changed by making her legs longer, her feet shorter, her stomach smaller, her neck longer, and her body in general more thin.
3. The model in this video is pretty much changed in every aspect possible; it's actually quite impressive, but at the same time it's frightening. Her legs, butt, stomach, arms, and everything else on her body that we can see was made skinnier and she looks like a completely different person. It's to the point where if you didn't see the before picture, you would think the edited version is how she's always looked.
4. In my opinion, I do not think changing someone's appearance like this is ethical because it is fake and you don't really know what to trust. Also, it really is a big cause of the false idea of beauty that a lot of people have in this day and age.
5. I do not think that there are any situations in which manipulation like this is less bad or worse than other situations, because it's always advertising some type of thing and false advertisement is also immoral.
6. The only types of changes I think would be okay are slight changes that make the overall photo more pleasing, without changing the appearance of the actual person.
7. Fashion photography seems like it's just focused around people and the clothes they wear, and what "beauty" is supposed to be like. This image of beauty is often wrong because of the manipulation we saw in these videos. Photojournalism, on the other hand, is more truthful and the area of exploration is more wide, meaning you can really put anything out there that you find interesting.
8. Every type of photography is just capturing any moment and whether the photo is manipulated or not is up to the photographer.
9. We are being shown these videos for the knowledge of what can be done in the photography world in a negative light, so we learn what not to do.
10. None of these videos are about guys because in the modeling industry, girls are focused on so much more and they feel the pressure to be or look a certain way. The false ideas of beauty are stressed so much more on women, also. The video of the girl completely being slimmed down to where she doesn't even look like herself would most likely not happen to a man.
