Both of the above photographs are of the same model, Filippa Hamilton. Ralph Lauren used excessive airbrushing on the left photograph to make the model look so emaciated that her head was wider than her hips.
We think it’s pretty clear cut that society doesn’t like that actresses, models, and public figures are made to look unreasonably perfect in the photographs they distribute to the public. We don’t like the message it sends to our children, and more importantly it just makes us feel bad. That’s not what this week’s survey is about, because that much is a given.
This week’s poll puts you in the shoes of the person in the photograph. If you were a public figure, how would you react to seeing this image of yourself? After all, the model looks “perfect” — skinny, wrinkle-free, cellulite-free, and tanned. Would you want to look like that in your pictures? How far is too far when it comes to altering YOUR image?
