after seeing the video i though it was all unethical because they just edited that photo to where that looked like a total different person. The only ethincal thing they could have done to here phote was change the lighting. the make up didnt really mean anything but, they lifted he neck and changed here eyes and telling peopl that this is BEAUTY.
This isnt the worst thing that has been done when it comes to altering photos.
i think its ok to change the lighting to make the photo even and look nice. Its not ok to change her face and make her neck taller here eyes bigger, that was wrong.
the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism is that fashion is changeing reality to make people want to be just liek that. photojournalism is trying to capture a moment and tell as much truth as possible and tell a story.

absolute/situational?
After watchin the dove video and all the photos that have been changed, im starting to go wtih absolute. They alter things to an unatural beliefe and changeing the truth.
A photo can capture a part of teh truth. not the entire truth because your not showing how that person or situation realy is. but u are capturing a time and moment for ppl to see. like with the war in iraq. that is telling some part of truth to the people that cant see it.
in the edit reality, its difficult.. ive learned that there is a thin line when it comes to the edit reality. by cropin your changing how much the person can see, and by takeing things our of the picture that just altering the truth.
Its important that the news organizations have clearly defined ethical standerds because there trying to tell as much of the truth as possible and want to stick to what is going on. there not altering reality.
