Everything we c is fake...

The other day my style director told me that since now we r digital photographers in a studio, we sometimes have 2 make suitable 'adjustment' 2 make the 'photo' look pretty.

Such as touch up on skins... makes the eyes a bit bigger, resize the nose a bit etc...

Which I can totally c her point, since now days we can do more on tech., ppl expect more; they want things 2 b better, faster and stronger.

Then this will come 2 a question of 'What is real?'

From the ads on billboard ard the city 2 the magazines we r reading, we know that 99% of the photo has been retouched,

doesn't matter if its a model, a dog or landscape.

The colour is richer, skins r smoother, things just looks better

When tech. grows, we just simply surrounded by the image of fake.

(Thats y I like films... sometimes, hahaha)

As long as people realize that photography is now as free to manipulate and stylize what we see around us as drawing, painting, sculpture, etc., I think we are okay. Most people in the general public don't realize that photography doesn't capture an exact slice of "reality". All photography is a distortion on what our eye sees. We have just believed for over 100 years that "the camera doesn't lie". Now the creativity, distortion and "lies" of photography are much more believable for the general public because they can watch them being created through computer manipulation. But, how many of them believe that the original image taken by the camera isn't any more "real" than the end product. We are just trained to accept one of them are real and the other as a fake.
