Ethics in fashion photography

1. Her lips, neck, eyes, hair, eyebrows, and her face.

2. Yes, because as a model they are supposed to look flawless. In this case, it doesn't harm or offend anybody because

3. When they complete change something that people can't even recognize.

4. If some of the facial features are being changed that could still be recognizable then it would be OK but if they completely change or replace with something that could not be recognized then that's not OK because that's lying.

5. The concept of fashion photography is its unique beauty. In most magazines, TV shows or commercials, actors want to look beautiful and flawless in order to catch the audience's attention. They want to show their attractive features toward the people. No one would want to look at a magazine if the image they're looking at is ugly. Models and actors that are appeared on magazines for example, would need the Photoshop manipulation technique in order to enhance their beautifulness.
Photojournalism is when photographers capture information and deliver it to the people in the society. They are delivering the news which have to be facts to let the world know what's going on here and there. They can't provide such lies because once it is published, everything else goes wrong. More dramas will happen.


6. The relationship of fashion photography would be impression toward people because their flawless appearance would capture the attention of the audience despite the fact that they look totally different in person. The common perception is that people would always assume that celebrities are pretty and beautiful no matter what. It doesn't quite affect the ethical practice in a way because usually people don't care if a model looks beautiful on magazines or ugly in real life. Having to look beautiful is just a part of being popular.
As for photojournalism, my own perception is it involves with newspapers. Photojournalists take pictures and write down significant information to keep as history. And speaking of history, it can't be lies because it's being carried onto generations and generations. And also photojournalists are responsible for carrying out news to let the people know what is going on in different places.
