Photoshopping in Fashion

1. The changes made to her face through photoshop was; 

• the enlargement of the eyes
• elongation of the neck
• thinning of the face and the neck
• the enlargement of the lips.

2. The changes made to the model's body in this photoshoot through photoshop was; 

• "beautification" of the face and body
• the elongation of the legs, neck and face 
• thinning of the back and stomach
• the enlargement of her feet, breasts and bottom
• the lightening of her skin

3. The changes to the model's body in this photo through photoshop was;

• extreme thinning of the model's body (arms, legs, torso, bottom, face)
• elongation and thinning of the neck, face and legs
• adding more hair towards her farther shoulder from the camera

4. I believe that it should only be ethical to photoshop somebody's photo if they give you 100% permission to alter and adjust their photo. an if they don't give you the permission to change their photo, then just make tiny adjustments to make the photo more appealing, not to make it seem alienatedly perfect.

5. Yes, like if someone was near perfect and you just felt that you HAD to make them even skinner, then that would be even more ethically wrong than just adjusting a photo to look just the slightest bit appealing. Or maybe making someone who is naturally skinny, fat.

6. I believe that changes to the teeth, eye color, stomach fat, and other small edits are acceptable unless wanted by the model/subject. However, other photoshopped parts of the body that I believe should be left alone should be the breasts, bottom, face, and skin color.

7. I believe that photojournalism is about finding and reporting news or an interesting subject that someone had found. Photojournalism has a wider variety of what kinds of photos you can have on a blog, or article. Fashion is usually of one specific category, whether it be bathing suits or dresses to shoes, it all relates to that one main category. I believe that fashion is basically a radicalization area about how great people can look by making you feel nervous and anxious about how people see your body.

8. Photography plays a large role in how we see people, events, and places all over the world. Landscape Photography helps us to think about if we want to travel to there sometime in our lifetime. Portrait and Self-Portrait Photography help us get an insight as to how a person may think or see themselves. All of these types of photography help us to think about the positive and negative effects that we have on the environment and in the social society that we create. This always makes us see what we do and makes us snap from our own personal worlds into the backhand slap of reality.

9. I believe that Mr. Reeves is showing us these videos of these girls being photoshopped for advertisements because it happens every day all over the world. I also think that we might be doing this soon in our class - Possibly for our portrait and self-portrait photoshoots.

10. I believe that none of these videos are about guys because most male models probably don't have to go through so much in order for their photoshoots.
