Despite the name of this article I want to make it clear that the models below aren't bitches in fact, every single model I have worked with from first time photoshoot to international are very kind & respectful. They aren't rude or divas as portrayed in many television shows. It's just a title to grab your attention.
Now before you exit this post, let me tell you why. As many of you know I am a photographer. So let me tell you some not so secret things. First off models are photoshopped (duh), but do you know how much they are photoshopped? No? Perfect. I am here to show you just what some photographers & the advertisement industry does. We will ignore her flyaways and just focus on her skin, eyes and eyes.
Here is sped up recording of me doing basic enhancements.
Here is what more advanced editing looks like
As you can see to your left and above the bar for women is being set so high that it's just not reachable. Everywhere you look women are being subject to unrealistic standards of how they should look from dolls as a child to lingerie ads for adults. It is drilled into your head from the day you are born that, THAT is what you are suppose to look like. Is that fair? No it's not fair.
It's important for women of all ages to know that what you see in front of you is not what beauty is. Now I'm not saying looks are important because they are -too an extent but what is more important is how you act. Being a bitch may get you places in high school but in the real world that isn't going get you very far. Out of all the thing women are being told have big breast, perfect skin, be skinny, have a thigh gap are things they can't naturally control sure you can lose weight, but how much can you really lose and still be healthy? Not enough.
As a 21 year old male I am telling all of you women out there that guys love it when you have self-esteem (so go love yourself ladies!). We hate it when we call a girl pretty and they reject the compliment because to us you are. Lets be fair though. Can we (males) really blame you for not taking a compliment when everywhere you look you're being told you're not pretty enough? No we really can't.
So just remember that those ads you see those women don't actually look like that. Lighting does a lot for a person as well.
If this article gets positive reviews I will do a more in depth one about women being sexulized throughout history by advertisement agencies. I am also planning on doing one for males.
