Fashion Ethics.

http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.com/flat4.asp?id=6909


watch this video to understand the following blog.




A few changes that were made to the model's appearence.

- Her neck was made longer.
- Her shoulders were pushed down.
- Her eyes were made bigger.
- Her cheek bones were pushed inward.

It is ethically okay to change her appearence this way. But it is wrong to lie, using the photo as 'proof'. If they were to say that their product made her beautiful,(as that ad implies, although that is beside the point.) then that editing would be ethically wrong. The difference between fashion photography, and photojournalism, is that as journalists we must never lie to our readers, but in the fashion industry, they lie all the time, but it is looked over because its just appearences.

Photojournalism Ethics.

I believe that there is an extent to which one should go with editing. A photojournalist should never ridicule, dishonor or disgrace a picture that has to do with important, emotional or touchy subject matters.

Bonus sentence using the words excessively and detect.

I excessively use my spyware blocker to detect viruses, because I fear my computer crashing.

Ethical rules should be situational, because a list of absolute rules cannot detail exactly what is okay in exactly every situation.
A photo can capture some of the truth, but it cannot speak because it's a picture, therefore, it is the photojournalist's great responsibility to explain the whole truth. This can be done in a caption or be read in a news bulletin.

Funny Picture.

Nobody suspected the dog was in possesion of some illegal catnip.
Sunny delight manufactuers finally figured out how to literally "Taste the power of the sun" so as to boost sales.

What happened after these toursists let local homeless people wipe their car windshield and didn't pay up.
