ethics in fashion photography

1. For the first video, they changed her neck length, eye position, shoulder width, skin lighter, and mouth smaller and nose to make her more pretty.

2. They changed her leg length, skin color, body size (made her slimmer) her hair, face, and added or deleted shading in the second video.

3. For this last video, they apparently took a piece of pizza and made a model out of it. They did the usual in editing the girl's face, body and skin tone.

4. No it's not ethical, they could just get prettier girls or just use the girl they chose and not edit her shaping.

5. I can't think of a time it would be right to change someones body or face this much ever.

6. I think changing the skin tone isn't that bad, but the editing of their body shape to make them slimmer isn't okay.

7. Photojournalism doesn't morph the people's bodies or the picture in general at all, it only changes the lighting and colors of the photo.

8. Not sure how these two types of photography would relate to real life other than they can impact the women who look up to models or whatever and are starting to think that you need to be thin or fit to be pretty, which isn't true

9. I guess he showed us these videos to offend the girls or show us the importance of these issues.

10. I think they do these transformations to men too but maybe the ones that are about girls get more attention because they're more controversial or are more obviously morphed.

american soldier

A. i think the most powerful picture is the one where the Humvee is driving in the streets of Iraq and the kids in the streets, with their confused faces , have to get out of the way.

B. they work together by telling a chronological story of Fisher's life.

C. the captions help a lot with the pictures because for some of the pictures, you have no idea what's going on and the captions tell us everything about the background.

D. At age 17, Ian Fisher decides to join the army, he visits the recruiting office and says goodbye by having parties and saying bye to family before he leaves to basic training for 14 weeks. He hurts his elbow at camp, and has made a lot of new friends. he receives his first gun and after 8 weeks into camp, he trains under fire. he gets heat rashes and other little injuries. he graduates from boot camp and now is starting to be deployed into Iraq. he buys an engagement ring for his girl and proposes to her on Christmas. he and his girl break up and he becomes hooked on drugs. he gets baptized. He gets a new girlfriend and they get married.

E. present tense

F1. there are about 2-4 sentences per caption.

F2. it tells the people that are in the picture.

F3. this second sentence will say more information about the action happening in the picture.

F4. the third sentence will usually say additional info about the photo, like using a quote.

F5. there is a quote in quite a few of the captions to also help with the background info.

F6. A couple had 4 sentences, but they could've made the caption with 3 by using a comma or something.

G. You can only use captions, and it would be just like a picture book, so that's why you're able to only use captions.

H. Because things can happen in between that they might not have taken pics of or something, i don't really know the reason.

1. the thing that caught my eye is the astronaut's helmet shine.
2. This picture was the first picture on the moon and was taken by Neil Armstrong. And it is surprising that the person in the pic is standing still considering the low gravity on the moon.
3. this picture has no additional information so ill just say that this picture was speculated to be fake and that people thought the whole landing was a hoax.

2. Mao was the leader of the communist party in china. He was getting old but didn't want people to think so, so he took a dip in the river at the age 72 to show the people of china he was still healthy.
3. His own troops disobeyed him at the end of his time in office and the insanity fell off in china.
