Fashion

In the video, I noticed a lot of changes they made to the model.
~ The made her legs longer
~ They added more hair
~ They made her skinnier
~ They made her neck longer
~  They made her whole body "glowy"
~ They made her eyes and lips bigger
~ They smoothed her skin
~ They put a lot of makeup on her pre-shoot

In the second video, I was a little surprised that they were able to turn a piece of pizza into a girl
~ They made her skin clear and "normal"
~ They turned her crust into hair
~ They turned her pepperonis into a bikini
~ They made her skinnier
~ They made her have legs

4. I don't that in these instances it was ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like that because the person was so altered that you would not be able to recognize them if you walked past them in the street.

5. It is pretty much always ethically wrong to do this in any circumstance because it is false advertising. The models don't use the products that they are trying to sell, and also they don't even look like themselves.

6. I think that it acceptable to make slight color changes and lighting adjustments in photos, along as cropping the image, because they do not alter the model's physical appearance.

7. Fashion photography is used to try to sell a product while photojournalism is used to tell a true story with events that actually happened. This difference is important because it means that the photojournalism images must be set to a higher standard about not photoshopping because then that would alter an actual event that is trying to be documented.

8. Fashion photography relates to people who want to be like something else, which is important because if you are advertising someone who is unnaturally gorgeous then the buyer will go through their life believing that this is an actual standard of beauty that they're not meeting. Photojournalism relates to people who want to hear a real story with real events, so they are expecting the image to be completely accurate and not altered.

9. None of these videos are about guys because photoshopping is less common with guys due to the unequal beauty standards. Guys do not need to be photoshopped as often because the consumer, who is usually a guy, doesn't really care as much about the model, but about the quality of the product.
