Fashion Ethics

1. The changes I could cath were some color altering, stretching her neck and widening her eyes.

2. I don't think that it's okay to change a persons appearence as much as they did, they changed her physical composition.

3. With changes this drastic, I don't think that the situation never matters, this is always wrong.

4. Since so much makeup was already applied to her the photo was already fake, so in this situaton I don't think it mattered.

5. Photojournalism is capturing a real situation and fashion photography is trying to create the best looking photograph possibe, no matter how many shots or changes it takes to get there.

Photojournalism Ethics

1. I think that it should be situational but since the line is so unclear we have to resort to abosulte ethics.

2. I think that a photograph can capture som of the truth, but because of the limits of the frame it difficult to capture the whole situation.

3. The only decisions that I can think of myself making that alter the truth are really just deciding what to take a picture of, it's impossible to take a picture of everything.

4. It's important for news organizations to have standards so the people who trust that source know that they can continue to trust them.
