Beauty: What Everyone Wants us to Look Like

changes made in the woman's face:

1. head was raised higher off the neck from original shot.
2.Hair was falsely created hair to fill in empty spaces in falsely swaying hair
3. shoulders and neck made to look thinner
4.eyes much larger than original
5. face rounded out and thinned out cheeks
6. lighting was added to brighten out and remove blemishes on face
7. lips much larger than original
8. imperfections removed for final detail


business is business. if people want to advertise false things about their products saying that it can make them look like a digitally altered person, then go ahead. Its not false advertisement, but it can destroy peoples lives because they think they can look like what people advertise.

a good example showing the wrongness is exactly that video. people are people not robots or computer altered characters.

some changes that could be except able would be things like the raising of the head off the neck and possibly filling in some spots of hair. otherwise I do not think all the rest would be except able.

photojournalism is the discussion and reporting of photos around the world and telling the stories behind them. with fashion photography your doing exactly opposite. your advertising a picture and CREATING and story behind it.

Photoj discusses what is happening to things, people, places ect. this usually expressed through good photography and is all about the real world. now fashion photography is all about the falseness of people and how they should look instead of what they do look like.
