Photography Ethics and Manipulation

1.A. The main point of the story is that there were two photo editors who changed their photos to make them more impressive and dramatic. The photo editors would use other people's pictures and change them. They would add new things to there photos, or take things out of their photos. 

1.B. I think this type is very unethical because the photos that they are changing are not there photos and they do not have the right to use them. They are also saying they went out and took the amazing photo they are presenting, but really they did nothing other than stealing manipulating someone else's work. This is very unethical because they could cause great offense to others.

I think this photo is one of the most unethical photos because the UW officials photoshoped shopped a black person into this photo to try and show everyone how they have a diverse campus. This is unethical because they are trying to make themselves look better than everyone else when really they are worse then everyone else at this moment. It is very wrong because this person was not even at the game in the first place.

2.B.

In this photo the people of National Geographic moved the pyramids closer to accommodate there photo. I think this is the least unethical because this is not super offending. Yes it is still wrong and they are not showing people the truth, but they are not hurting anyone by moving the pyramids. They were not trying to harm anyone in my opinion they were just trying to get people to look at their magazine. It is still wrong though.
