Bump! This is very interesting! And reassuring because I'm one of 'those' that tends to compare myself to what I see in our 'fake-ridden' society.0

Thank you for this fascinating thread.0

Great thread!!
Why is it that some photos I've seen, typically of stars walking the red carpet for some awards show or other, the heads look ridiculously large for their bodies? Seriously, they often look like bobble head dolls. I don't get it.0 -
Very interesting thread. Thanks very much for sharing your expertise!0

as a sidebar (and not to derail this interesting thread), some food photographers resort to trickery to make food look better in print than it could ever look on your plate:

http://www.justataste.com/2012/04/behind-the-shot-artificial-food-styling-giveaway/
remember that the next time your effort doesn't match the glossy photo in the cookbook even though you followed the recipe exactly.
e.g., that's not milk, it's glue (below).
Now I know why I can't get my cereal to look right .... tomorrow morning, it's glue all the way!!!0 -

The goal of this isn't to say "don't look for inspiration" the goal is to teach women not to compare themselves to this. The industry takes nearly perfect women and then cut impossible forms out of them. We could work out and loose every pound of fat we have and the fact is we will probably live with some loose skin, our necks won't grow longer, and our calfs wont develop that perfect plastic shine. Reality is beautiful, and pretend is fun. But selling this false reality, for profit, is a crime.
And men too. All you men out there do not need to be comparing yourselves to impossible, photoshopped forms.0 -
Moar please!0

thanks for the info...........I never knew. Bad enough with plenty of make on, but this is cheating big time.0
