Ethical/Personal perspectives on image manipulation
- I think that editing a photograph can look really good and can improve on any imperfections that might ruin the photograph
- I think it is ethical because in magazines we all know that people don't usually have perfect skin and that it isn't always realistic.
- I see no problem with improving on photographs, as long as the model gives you permission, this way you won't hurt any feelings when you edit it.
This is an example of image manipulation on people, the editor has made Jennifer Lawrence look skinnier, in the first picture (left) she looks fine but obviously the editor wanted her to look skinnier and curvier, her ribs are made to stick out more in the picture on the right to emphasise how skinny she looks. her waist is also made smaller to make her look curvier and her thighs have been slimmed. Personally I think when the first photo was absolutely fine and she looked beautiful, there isn't any point in making her look skinnier, her arms look very weak in the second picture and I think the first photo looked a lot better.
