Seeing original images right next to the modified ones shows how much can be changed. Now I wonder how I would look if if this guy got one of my photographs. It also makes me doubt the authenticity of what we see in the media. (via mefi)
I actually used to alter pictures of models for fitness adds. I worked for a company that manufactured fitness machines as a graphic designer. Our models were practically anerexic, and I was still instructed to make them even thinner, and I usually upped their bust size significantly.
And this is why none of us will ever look like the model on the front of the fashion magazine. Not even the model does!
