FASHION ETHICS

I do not believe that this is ethically okay because this model looked perfectly fine after all the make up she put on there was no reason to change the way she looked.

This is worst then others because they did not just take out dark marks "if any" on her face BUT they changed her as a person completely .... who ever it was that was on that bulletin board was no longer that model but another person with completely different trates. It alright to take out a dark spot or a pimple or slobber but not if your going to completely change that person appearance by a longer neck bigger eyes smaller forehead, bigger lips and so on. The difference between Fashion photography and journalism is that one tells the facts of the matter, and the other shows Partial facts. What they both in commen is that either way they are both going to have people believe what they see . ETHICAL OR NOT.

Photojournalism Ethic

Should a photojournalists ethics be absolute or situational? A photojournalist ethics should always be absolute unless its for something that is fun or get premishion to make it situational. Because in cases such as 9/11 with that photo with the man on the building looking lika an airplain about to hit is VERY unethical due to the viewers involved in the tragedy and are affected by something so Tragic. But somehthing not unethical is like taking pimpls of a models face or croping a picture..

Can a photo really capture truth? Yes a picture CAN really catpure the truth but only if the person behind the lense is willing to fallow the rules of ABSOLUTE!.. It is t his way because its something being captured at that very point and moment of time unless of course the photo was photo shoped and edited out or in images.

decisions have you made as a photographer that "edit" reality? I took a picture of a student her at school that had many dark spots on his face and had alot of scratches all over the photo.. i croped and edited out all the dark spots and all the scratches that i could find.
Why is it important that news organizations have clearly defined ethical standards? Because the news organizations viewers EXPECT THE TRUTH! not False FACTS.

Most Unethical..




This picture is most unethical...because this was a tragic time and I think its pretty bad to take reality of a tragic time away from this scene. The line shows up on the picture on the left and is taken away on the right. even if the press thought it would be funny about the line , people would take the situation of that picture more serious.
