1)The computer completely transformed the models face. The models eyebrows were raised, her eyes were enlarged, her neck was elongated, her lips were made larger, and her cheeks were defined. All of these changes were made by photo manipulation.
2)I don't believe it is ethical to change a person's appearance through photo editing especially photos that are used in the media to sell products. These photos set a standard for beauty that is not obtainable because the standard is not reality.
3)I believe manipulating children's photos in this way would be more unethical because photo shopping childrens photos would only make children feel as if they are not good enough and lead to low self esteem issues.
4)I think adjusting skin blemishes is acceptable because many people have skin problems and fixing minor skin issues does not change the structure of individuals actual appearances or face.
5)I think the main difference of fashion photography and photojournalism is that fashion photography is developed to sell products while photojournalism is developed to represent a point of view.
6)Fashion photography connects to reality because it captures people. This can create ethical problems with the different depictions of the photos that may offend or create problems. Photojournalim displays a point of view of the photographer this is how it connects to reality. The problem of ethics may come in play when the photographer manipulates photos to display there point of view.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics
This story on photo shopped photos or photo manipulation summarizes examples of manipulated photos that presented great presidence in the media. On one occasion government women officails of Israel were not only photo shopped out of the member of the Israeli Cabinet, but were as well replaced by men.
Photo manipulation can be unethical in many situations, but photo manipulation can also be acceptable. Photo manipulation is unethical when used in situations in which the photo manipulation harms someone or something in anyway. Photo manipulation used for good is acceptable.
I believe this photo is unethical because this photo could have posted a threat to Bill Clinton's character and credibility. Fidel Castro was a cruel dictator of Cuba and frowned upon by the U.S.
This photo is not unethical. The pyramids in the photo were edited to be closer together in order to fit the cover of the magazine.Not to manipulate characters or people unlike the other photographs.

National Geographic Warm Up
I like how this photo captures my attentions. This photo is not only beautiful, but it also has a lot of character. The reflection displayed in the eye shows a great point of view of nature both human and physical.
If I could submit any photo that signifys my life I would take a photo of my fashion sketches because my sketches are my passion and represent the work of my future.

Abandoned Theme Parks
I would love to visit and take along my camera to capture photos at Six Flags, New Orleans. The photos displayed in the article capture a vacancy yet the photos are filled with a dark energy that captures the devastating events that have taken place at the setting of the photos. I find this energy interesting because it is captured in the photos with perfection. The photos tell a story and you can infer that something devastating took place there without knowing prior information about the setting. The photos capture a negative truth and turn the truth into art through photography.
FIVE unusual places to photograph:
The natural elements of the desert is what draws me to wanting to photograph the desert. The desert is exclusive to its nature of the sand, wind, and sky. I would expect to capture many photos of how the earth of the desert and sky meet and compliment each other. For miles and miles around there is nothing but desert. It seems never-ending and of a planet of its own. This is what draws my interest to the desert regarding photography.
In visiting the Sahara I would have to pay for plane tickets as well as visiting accomadations such as a hotel. As far as equipment I would need seemingly a surfiet amount of water in order to avoid dehydration. I would also need sunscreen, durable photography equitment, transportation to and from the desert, a tour guide whom is knowledgable of the desert and navigation of the desert. Along with these factors I would need to become knowledgable myself of laws of the setting of the part of the Sahara I would be visiting.
- Antartica
- Cemeterys
- Concerts
- In Oceans (Pacific, Antartic, Atlantic)
- Sahara Desert
