| 491860 | 2006-10-17 05:34:00 | Its just a boring video of some average model, they put makeup on her, curl her hair, take the photo, then edit it with software to make her look beter. Hohum. When I saw the thread title I thought they might do something interesting, like flay her. |

| 491861 | 2006-10-17 09:39:00 | Thanks for sharing that pctek........hmmmm, why didn't I think of describing it like that? Oh yeah - I wanted the males of PF1 to actually see the video because seeing is believing, as evidenced by two of the responses above. :annoyed: The world we live in is surrounded by digitally altered images : I believe the average middle-aged (and older) female already knew this, but as for the average male and younger females, it is a different story. But hey, if you support the beauty / fashion industry then feel free to criticise. But before you do, consider this : do you suppose there is any correlation between anorexia and other disorders due to these sorts of images? Yes we all already knew magazine & advertisement images were altered but how much did we really know? That they changed the bone structure of the face? Changed the length of the neck? Changed the location and size of the eyes? When seen in this context it is shocking, unreal and in hindsight absolutely absurd. So I won't sit idly by and not help with education process when it comes to corporations heaving unrealistic images of beauty onto an uninformed populace. So dear reader, consider yourself informed. Cheers, Andrew :cool: |

The "fixed media" of still photography looks to be the place of whoring by the beauty industry . I imaging that it is considerably harder to alter the appearance of a moving object . . . harder, but not impossible mind you . From this point, all non-moving photography is suspect . |
