U.K. Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Do you like it when magazines or websites airbrush (digitally alter) photos of models/celebrities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ TAYLER Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Not that big of a fan of it myself. Though I like it when it is used in high art photography. Just a personal thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethmermaid Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Kind of mixed feelings about it, they seem to be going over board with it now a days, making it really noticeable >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azgirl Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Realistically how many of you get your personal photos altered from the small flaws in them?I happens a lot... and the industry is beauty so flaws "have to be taken care of"and for any other reason I can't see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelabella Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I think airbrushing is good to a certain extent. Like someone else said they seem to be over-doing it lately. Making everyone look like dolls. I think the only thing they should airbrush are visible flaws like, blemishes,cellulite,stretchmarks etc... All the stuff we don't wanna see, but keep the moles and freckles, etc...and what i really hate to see lately is how they distort faces so much you sometimes can't even recognize the person.

U.K. Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 I agree mostly with michelabella and RJ TAYLERI think it often makes people look worse, it makes them look un-natural, 2D, and unreal, and spoils what would have been a good, natural, real photo.

Hime Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 no, don't like it, "flaws" can be good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qball Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I don't mind airbrushing as long as the picture looks natural. There is a difference between art and artificiality.I have a collection of PIayboy centerfold pictures and I like those from the 60's and 70's best. Why? Because the girls there looked natural. Everything changed in the 80's when all that glamour kicked in and changed the way women were portrayed. Nowadays, some in PIayboy look way too fake and I don't like it.
