Fashion Ethics

• they lifted her head
• widend her eyes and moved them lower
• made her neck slimer
• raised her eyebrows
• resized her head

I don't think its okay to change someones appearance.

In some circumstances some are worse than others by changing the whole intire picture completely.

The types of chances that are okay is adjusting the light and shaping the photo.

The difference between photojournalism and fashion photography is that the fashion industry changes the peoples appearance into making them look way different then what they appear and in journalism we don't change a lot because that's wrong and what we basically change is the lighting if needed and some cropping.

The relationship between reality of both is fashion isn't really reality and photo j. is! :]

Photojournalism Ethics

• Photojournalism ethics should be absolute because if everyone has the same rule and regulations then it makes it much easier for everyone else instead of making up your own rules while you go cause if you just do that then its a better chance of messing up.
• I think a photo can capture the truth because say if you see someone doing something and you happen to have a camera. That picture would be proof to prove your point. Thats how some people black mail others.
• im not sure :[
• its important that news organizations have clearly defined ethical standards because if they don't then people can be printing out lies and everything will just be wrong.

manipulation

I think posting Oprah's head on Ann Margaret's body is wrong because everyone knows Oprah does not appear like that! And they probably didn't ask her if it was okay! i bet when she saw it, it probably made her upset. Like on that one movie Mandy Moore plays in "A Walk To Remember" she plays a girl named Jaime [jay-me] and everyone picks on her and after a play she preforms in they paste her head on this "bathing suit model's body"? i don't know but yeah it pretty much made her upset.


However this photo is different. I don't think its wrong at all because all they did was move the pyramids closer together to accommodate this vertical National Geographic cover. and i see nothing wrong with that. Its not like their doing any harm toward anyone and its not like they added or cropped something in there so its good. :]
