4. It is not ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo because it alters an audience's perception of reality and beauty.
5. There are circumstances where manipulations such as these are more ethically acceptable, but not in this sense of advertising. Some examples of these exceptions are for the purposes of art, irony, and etc.
6. Changes such as levels and cropping are completely acceptable, along with changes that help to restore the original environment that the picture was taken in. In advertising, I believe that changes such as those previously listed are acceptable along with other softcore manipulations in Photoshop.
7. Fashion photography and photojournalism differ in many ways. Fashion photography is heavily manipulated in order to make an audience perceive perfection. On the other hand, photojournalism is minimally manipulated in order to show an audience the truth.
8. Fashion photography has little to no relationship with reality while photojournalism is based on reality. I believe that the ethical practice of fashion photography should come much closer to the median between reality and dreams while photojournalism is at a comfortable point and should maintain it's current relationship with reality.
9. I think that these three videos are being shown to us to widen our knowledge of the power of photo manipulation so that we have a more complete opinion of it and how it relates to our work in photojournalism.
10. None of these videos are about guys because it is less common for men to be exploited the way that women typically are in advertisement.
