No wonder our perception of beauty is distorted

[Original photography: Mike Kemp - Rubberball Productions]

The title comes from the new "viral" campaign from Dove, showing how much of what we see in the ads is actually photoshopped.
I was working on this stock picture (left) and felt like posting the rough result (right). The guys at Dove must be happy, the viral part is doin’ its job, uh.

Now what’s my view on the subject – given that anybody actually cares.
One must know that people appear breathtakingly flawless in magazines because they are fake. Because of the lights, because of makeup, because the photographer knows his job and can take the best out of one’s features once he studied his model for a while. Because of – cough – photomanip junkies’ post production.
But this doesn’t mean that photoshoppin’ is bad.

Photography is a 2-D, one-sense still representation of a moving 4-D, five-sense reality. There’s no match, unless you use some tricks. It’s not that different from having your subject in a good light, isolate it from the background, framing the pic, buildin’ some composition. It’s just tryin’ to put in a photograph all the selection job that your brain does when lookin’ at the real subject.

Given that. Don’t feel ugly since all the gods and goddesses you see around are… "selection job".
Aye, except Angelina. She is real.
