When is an image a Portrait and when is it a fashion photograph?
An image is a portrait when the focus point is of the models face. the word portrait means 'a painting, drawing, photograph, or engraving of a person, especially one depicting only the face or head and shoulders.' when its a portrait it has to be of the head to the shoulders and not beyond that because that was class as a photograph not a portrait.

A fashion photograph can be a portrait but in
the picture there will be branded sun glasses or scarf or something to advertise a specific item that goes on your head or neck. but a fashion photograph is mostly of the models body because of the clothes that they will wearing which are used to advertise a certain brand of clothing. when having a fashion photograph, the head doesn't even need to be in frame because if there isn't anything branded clothing on the head then it doesn't need to be in
To what degree should an image be manipulated to go into a fashion magazine?
i think images should only be manipulated enough to actually stay real, because most of the pictures that you see in magazines these days are 100% not what the model looks like in real life. there is so many manipulative programmes and websites that destroy what the model actually looks like, such as Photoshop. i really don't think that photoshop should be used because it hides inner beauty sometimes it makes models look like dolls because its so fake.
