i would have been mad if they photoshoped out my scars... i love them. i didnt photoshop my set at all & as far as i can tell they didnt take anything out.
tho i havent been letting boy bite me & leave marks cause i dont want bruises for photos...
Hmmm...I have a couple different thoughts on this, I have to say I have no disagreements with photoshopping. To a certain extent...heavy photoshopping, and completly altering someone is obviously pointless and not a representation of the person...
I think of photos are not only a presentation of someone, but also a form of art, like painting...I don't think removing, or keeping for that matter, a blemish takes away from anyone..just depends what you are going for with the art piece.
photos are like paintings...a representation of someones style, look and personality...would a painter keep in blemishes? I guess it depends what he/she is going for... (fyi: the word photography, derives from 'painting with light')
Take reagan for example...she has fun portraying herself uber natural (Reagan: Naked)...and she also has fun showing her physicality in a perhaps "less natural looking" way.......its not a mask..no one's dropping 50 pounds with photoshop lol....photoshopped or not..she is obviously still lovely, and still looks like Reagan, with her beautiful eyes and defined jaw line.. I don't think photoshopping out minor blemishes relates to ones self-confidence...I look at it as a helpfull artistic tool...
on another hand, when you see someone in person, that beauty in reality is hard to capture on camera...I've noticed I don't notice natural blemish like zits on someone at all when they are moving around in real life, but when frozen in a photograph are quite noticeable and draw my attention away from a whole balanced image. Also pimples come and go anyway...some days I have em, some days I don't so why keep em for a picture that lasts forever? I don't think its a big deal....or a relation to self-esteem...
