Video 1: Some changes that were made to the model's face in this video were making her eyes bigger and making her neck longer.
Video 2: In this video there were dramatic changes from before and after. They gave the model longer hair, took away her freckles, gave her a stronger jawline, bigger eyes, smaller nose, redder and fuller lips, higher shoulders, and more shaped torso and legs, longer legs and and forearms, longer neck, bigger butt, lighter/smoother skin, and better posture.
Video 3: This vide showed the biggest and most surprising changes. In the beginning the model was overweight and very light skinned. They first made her body thinner everywhere and smoothed out her skin and blended her fat rolls. they gave her longer hair, a stronger jawline, bigger breasts and a more shaped butt.
In my opinion it is highly unethical to change a persons body this drastically. It completely changes the persons appearance and it's pretty much the same thing as false advertisement. In some circumstances it could be ok to edit someone's appearance a little such as getting rid of acne but not to the point of making them look like a complete different person. The difference between photojournalism and fashion photography is the way you edit the picture. Photojournalism is focused on capturing things exactly the way they are. The only editing you would ever do for photojournalism is levels and cropping. Fashion photography on the other hand is making someone look as attractive as possible, even if it completely changes their appearance. I think we watched these videos to make us realize really how much fashion photographers change the way the models look.
