Ethics In Fashion Photography

1) Lips larger, lifted neck, lowered eyebrows, slimmer neck, bigger eyes, slimmer face, contours added

2) waist was slimmed, legs made longer, made skin lighter, neck made longer, thighs slimmed

3) legs slimmer, waist slimmer, chest area expanded, skin tone made more even, arms slimmer

4) I don't think that it is ethically acceptable to change the girl's appearance like shown in the video, because the final product is often unrecognizable to that of the original picture.

5) I think it would be more ethically wrong if the girls weren't aware of the manipulation, or if the final product was being advertised as real.

6) I think that changes in color or exposure are okay, but changing a person's entire physical appearance is not.

7) Fashion photography seems to feature a lot more doctoring of photos, often in an unethical way. Photojournalism captures real subjects, and only really uses photoshop as a means of enhancing color or exposure.

8) Fashion photography doesn't seem to be very close to reality, making it unethical and not real. Photojournalism is more closely related to reality, making it more ethical.

9) I think you are showing us these videos to expose us to one of the harsh truths of the photography and fashion industry.

10) I believe none of these videos are about guys, because girls are given a more certain image, and are manipulated in photos to fit these standards.

Many people recognize this photo, and have given the person the name "Tank Man."
