fashion photography


  1. the models lips and eyes were made larger, her eyes were brought down and her neck was made longer and slimmer.
  2. the model was made skinnier in the stomach, her shoulders were brought up, her legs and neck were made longer and slimmer and her entire body was lightened. 
  3. the model was made a lot slimmer, her boobs and butt were drastically edited, her hair was made longer and the editor lightened her complexion.
  4. i don't think its ethically acceptable to edit someones body because it creates unrealistic standards and can potentially hurt the person and anyone who views the photo because these glorified features are naturally unattainable. 
  5. if the person/model didn't consent to the photo being edited or it is more edited than agreed then its more unethical. 
  6. no change is ok because its mocking the models actual beauty by creating something not naturally achievable like bigger eyes or a different body type (bone structure being slimmer etc.).
  7. fashion photography has no rules against photo manipulation which makes it less truthful and ethical than photojournalism, which has standards for how much can be manipulated.
  8. photojournalism is closer to reality, which makes it more ethical to fashion photography where there seems to be no sense of reality because there really is no limitation on what can be manipulated. 
  9. you showed us these three videos to illustrate what actually is possible with photoshop and what actually happens in the fashion photography world.
  10. we're still in a patriarchal society where women have to have a perfect body and face to be worth anything, women are held to a different standard in appearance in which it isnt deemed acceptable to weigh a little more, or have a few extra curves which is extremely wrong because we are people too, no one is perfect and its honestly disgusting that photoshop to this extent is allowed.
