The Probability
are except your face is your gold mine or you have an perfectly groom online
personality (I'm looking at you YouTube Photoshop tutorial) you won't have had
much direct skill of retouching. Instead, most people know it largely by its
blunders: the terrible magazine covers where celebrities' arms sprout from
their rib cages or editorials where supermodels' thighs have been passionately dissect
and transformed Despite its ubiquity, airbrushing and digitally slimming models
down has a pretty bad reputation and for good reason. It's hard to imagine many
people disagreeing that the excessive retouching of models and celebrities is a
particularly negative aspect of the media. South Park made an entire episode
about it, so it's hardly a niche perspective.
The idea
that women ought to be airbrushed into often anatomically impossible shapes is
clearly troubling; in her One Dimensional Woman, describes Photoshop as having
turned "fashion photography into something you'd want to conquer, rather
than follow", and while there are a few photographers and Nude Retouching stylists
who have made a kind of sickly glossiness their brand, she's absolutely right
that women's bodies in magazines and advertising are often so far from decipherable
they look more like freshly glazed doughnuts There is, among the substantially unlimited
cleavage and grotesquely cropped waistlines, a really compelling argument in
favor of retouching. artist's or photographer's vision in order to fit with suitable
cultural principles? People talk a lot about how retouched images are damaging
young women's body-confidence, but retouching and image altering goes further
than the Victoria's Secret tweed cataloger
.
While I'm
all for creative freedom and think the idea of having disclaimers on all
retouched photographs is too extreme, when it comes to mindless manipulation of
images, there's no question that something needs to change. More than once
somebody in a lab somewhere has decided to slim out my nose, using what looks
to me like a haphazardly placed stripe of 5 o'clock shadow. It felt weird and
kind of embarrassing, and even though the picture is hanging on my grandma's
wall, she told me a few weeks ago that it doesn't really look anything like me
and she wants a new one. I agree
