I don't think it is ethically acceptable to change a persons appearance with Photoshop because it is showing that it takes photoshop to make a person beautiful. Everyone is beautiful the way they are and its insulting that people will change your face because they don't like it.
There are so many circumstances in which it is ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation.
There are sonly a couple,if any, types of changes that are OK, and only as long as its also ok with the person.  Maybe if like a model is doing a big shoot but she has a pimple and SHE wants it gone, then it could be ok to take it away in Photoshop. But thats about the only acceptable time. What isn't ok is when you change a whole persons face or body because they ave a few flaws in your opinion.  But flaws make people unique.
Fashion photography is when you photos of a person for a magazine or something showing a certain type of clothing article. Photojournalism can be anything from fashion to animals, to war, basically anything.
Every photo begins with reality, but some people think that reality isn't as important as perfection or pleasing others.  They will alter reality based on what they think it beautiful or perfect.  This affects the ethical practice of each photo by making it less ethical and morel because its not reality.
You are probably showing these videos because  you want us to see how taking Photoshop too far can really be horrible and unethical.
None of these videos are about guys because as a society we se guys as being particularly superior (which is wrong) and that they don't really have anything wrong with their bodies.  But just a few extra on a girl can make her and the people photographing her feel as if she has made a mistake and isn't beautiful. Unfortunately, females are still seen as objects that can be toyed and altered with.

Magazine Covers II

1. Early Magazine Covers

The covers had the title, and table of contents, and they were usually black and white, and were book like covers, and these lasted throughout the 1700's and 1800's. They were pretty generic. 

2. The poster Cover

These covers did not need words. Were from the 1890's to the 1960's and they looked like they were meant to me hung onto a wall and framed. The logo goes into the art. They appeared on many types of magazines. 

3. Pictures Married to Type

A lot of covers relied on cover lines for their covers. There were large titles, and subjects in cover might be interrupting it .  There is usually a combination of activity and repose with confidence. Placement of type is judged heavily in these covers. 

4. In the Forest of Words

These are what we normally use now in the 2000's.  The subject is usually centered and has a lot of subtitles and words overlapping them everywhere with titles from inside the magazine. The images are not in the foreground anymore as the cover lines are taking over. 

My favorite Cover

New York, May 20, Michael Douglas Is Liberace

"If simplicity is the essence of all great covers, then Martin Schoeller nailed this one. The photograph captured iconic actor Michael Douglas for the cover of New York’s annual television issue with just the slightest nod to the character he was playing. The result is a little Michael, a little Lee (as Liberace was known). The unorthodox type treatment complements the picture elegantly and with force."

This portrait is uniquely interesting. Its an older man with his hair brushed and has bright purple eye makeup on his left eye.  I don't really get the significance of this portrait but it probably does mean something.  The background is ombre gray and makes the subject stand out because it is simple.  His tan skin contrasts nicely with the gray of the background. It adds a lot of curiosity and interest by adding the makeup, and he is sort of smiling in the portrait.  He doesn't have a shirt on, and this Michael Douglass guy is probably an important figure and is trying to say something. Simplicity is a major composition factor in this portrait.

Magazine Tips

When I am doing my magazine cover, I should:
1. make sure it is emotionally irresistible
2.make sure it is interesting and stimulating
3. make sure the cover is unique compared to others and
4. the cover should make people curious about it and make them want to buy it
5. Mount it beautifully, and try not to trim it.

American Soldier

This is the most powerful photo to me because it is showing that you can not make mistakes in the military, because it might mean death.

The most powerful set of images is the basic training because this is when he is pushed the hardest, and is prepared for what is to come. He needs to learn more things to stay alive.
c. The images work together to show a story by making a timeline from his recruitment to his training to his war time to him coming home.
3. The images are mostly in present tense.
B.  The captions enhance the photos by telling the story of that day and having quotes by the people Ian was with and himself.
4. --39.  Ian inwardly curses himelf because he forgot to sing in the shower that morning, which relaxes him. Now that his sargaent is out of his office and coming to see him, he is sure that he will see the pit stains forming underneath his arms.
--41.  I cant believe i broke my leg.  Now i wont be able to play hop scoth with my stuffed animals, Ian thinks as his friend wraps his foot.
--44.    Ian accidenatally ran over a bunny on the road.  His name was Fred. He is crying guilty tears as a storm brews in the distance.
