Photo Manipulation and Ethics

Photo Manipulation has been used for a while now by many photographers and editors. If something doesn't go as planned for a photographer, they just take the picture at that moment and later they decide to add or even remove people or objects from their original photo to a whole different photo to get what they desire. Editors do this almost all the time knowing if they get caught they can ruin their careers and maybe even their lives. Many have been caught in the act of doing this and were rewarded a lost of a job and a lost of their hard work. Doing this isn't always the smart thing to do. I believe people should not try to make their pictures better if it means losing their jobs and all of their work, even if they have been in the photography business for the longest time.




Most Unethical



Out of all the photos that have been unethical, I believe this one is the most unethical because they have put Oprah's head on Ann Margaret's body. Clearly you can see that Oprah does not have the body of Ann, and because of this, people found out something sketchy about this photo and this editor got what was coming for him.











Least Unethical 





This National Geographic Magazine was edited to move the pyramids closer together to fit in the cover. I chose this as the least unethical because you can't really tell they did this because most people don't know the difference in distant between each pyramid, unless they search it up or actually try to find something wrong with this photo.
