I think that labeling an image in a magazines necessarily is not a bad idea, typically we are aware of younger girls wishing to have the typical model image inspired and portrayed to them through the favorite magazines. I don't feel that images shouldn't be airbrushed etc to make that ideal look its the point of fashion, yes it is slowly changing but as for now it common and expected, I feel as long as it is stated that it had been re-touched etc there isn't a problem.
Small printing that an image had been airbrushed etc for that purpose i feel is not wrong and should be encouraged.
However on general photographs of landscapes, weather, scene's etc this shouldn't be the case it enhances the impact and beauty of the image, through photo shop i have learnt to appreciate the value of these retouches and how the improve my own work so i don't feel it should be required for general images.
Who is the author? Photographer, Model, retoucher or editor?
An author is defined both as "the person who originates or gives existence to anything" and that authorship determines responsibility for what is created.
Therefore i feel that the photographer is the author in this case because without the art their providing no-one else above could carry out their roles. for example
The model wouldn't have work because who would capture the image, The retoucher has nothing to retouch and the editor would not be able to write up or comment on an image.

ReplyDeleteDo you think all consumers expect and notice retouching?
"However on general photographs of landscapes, weather, scene's etc this shouldn't be the case it enhances the impact and beauty of the image,"
This article focuses on retouched bodies; even if this legislation is passed, French advertisers do not need to worry about labeling retouched landscapes or weather.
