Fashion Photoshop

1.They start with a normal person, they seem to try like 10 different hair combinations, then they add makeup and all that stuff. After the photo is take, you can already see a noticeable difference, but after they shape the face and the eyes some, you could not tell that the person in the beginning was the person in the end, which they basically were not that person in the beginning after having so much changed about them.

2. In the second video, it shows us what people do to models in after shooting. In the video, they make changes to then shape of the models face, how tall they are, changing their skin tone, and overall I would say the most noticeable change is they make the model glow.

3. In the third video, the creators show us the photoshop process in reverse. What was originally a piece of pizza is turned into a model. Something that I think the people who made the video were trying to tell people that anything can be beautiful through photoshop. What they did is basically changed everything about the picture, and then you get the final product.

4. The question asks wether it is ethical to add these changes to a person in a photo, I say yes.
It says photo,  sure if you want to make someone look prettier fine, but people do this to sell things to people, making their target audience (usually women when talking about beauty) doubt themselves, and are chorused by things like these photo shopped models to buy their products in order to feel like they are accepted or something like that.

5. In advertising like the videos showed us today, it is ethically wrong, because your are messing with the minds of their potential consumers. They are altering what people think about themselves in a negative way, to sell more products.

6.I think the changes done before things, to alter something to better fit the photograph should be enough, like the hair, and makeup like the videos today, or setting up a scene or backdrop for photographic journalism. While you are still altering what is actually happening, it still better may better benefit your cause, or what you are trying to accomplish with these photos you are taking.

7.I think someone would think that there would be a big difference between photojournalism, and fashion photography, but there really is not. In both forms of photography, you are trying to sell things, in fashion photography you are trying to sell clothes and physical objects. In photographic journalism, you are trying to sell a story, to make people believe in what may be written on pen and paper, to sell truth.

8.While I would say both fashion and journalistic photography are pretty relative to reality. I would say that fashion photography may have a set of darker motivations, which is more relative, because fashion photography, and the fashion industry in general have alter are reality, by setting standards and trends, which are followed instinctively by our minds, to feel accepted.

9. I think your showing us these videos, because you want us to at least be cautious of what we see, and to not always do what we have been told.

10.I think these videos feature women, because it is the truth. The major target of beauty products are women. I think this because, there is a set social standards that have been set by advertising and, self-belief, that all women are supposed to look very beautiful, and attractive, while men have muscles and strength. I feel like these standards are crumbling as the world gets more progressive, and I hope they do in the future.
