Photojournalism Ethics

A photojournalists should be situational because it all depends on the situation your in to alter the photo.Its at your discretion.

Yes and No because it all depends on how a preson interprets the picture. I may think the picture means one thing while another person might think differently,But i guess if it really obvious what the picture is trying to say then yes.

I Have cropped people out of the picture. i guess in a way that alters the truth because its almost like saying the poeple i cropped out were not even there at all.

Its important that news organizations have clearly defined ethical standards because that way photographers know what they are allowed to do to alter a photo and what they are not permitted to do.

Fashion Ethics

Its not okay to change a persons face like that in the photo because thats not what she really looks like, and your making people feel like they need to like that. If your going to have model you need to take them as they are.

Its worse than others because this is the reason people go and get plastic surgery done.Its because they feel a need to be like this and look a certain way...when in reality no one really looks like they are being tricked into going and getting all this work done so they can look better.but they are just wasting there money and in the end they probably wont like it.This is probably one of the reason that girls and boys have self esteem issues.And thats part of the reason they dont eat,this is part of the reason we have people who dont eat and purge right after if they do eat.

The types of changes that are okay are like if she were to have a scar on her face and they covered it up something like that. Something that wont embarass the person in the photo.nut if you alter her whole entire face,that woud make them feel asz if they were not pretty enough to be there as they are. And it would make people want to look like that.because lets face it we all want to look like a movie star.we want to have the hair the perfect body,eyes,lips,chin, etc..


In photojouranlism we show the truth if we alter a photo we either crop it or take out soome blemishes,or remove some scrathches.We dont take away fro the truth of the photo. In fashion Photography they alter the photo to mahe her eyes look bigger,make her neck longer all thihs stuff to make it up to the standards of what they think is beautiful.Instead of showing her natural beauty.The ethics between the two is that photoJ is the truth and what we do ost of the time is right, but in the fashio world when they alter the photo its wrong because they have an impact on all these people that will see the photos that they print.

Photo Manipulation 2

This Picture i think is unethical because they changed alot about it, in the origional it looks as if the soilderis trying to tell the man with the child to stay back away from whats behind them.Now he look as if he is holding them hostage. The soilder also looks as if he is ready to use his gun on the people. but thats not true at all.

I think this photo is the least unethical because,they only took out the merger. You still get the full affect of the photo.She is in pain over her friend being shot.by altering the photo they did not take away from the action.

This picture to me is the most unethical because,they made it seem like someting she was not. and it makes people think that thay have

to be skinny.this was moslt likley planned out.

Photo Manipulation

1.The Universtiy of Wisconsin-Madison though they needed to make the school appear more diverse.So on the brochure they digitally inserted an African American into the photo. By doing that it cause alot of contraversy with the board of the school.Some people think it was wrong others say to leave the photo as they changed it.
2.I think what they did to the photo is not okay,because all they wanted to do is make the people looking at the school brochure think that its a diverse school.I think they could have gone a different way to show there diversity.
