| I hadn't gotten up from Sittin On Tha Toilet when I thought we usually see the provocative before and after photoshop images of celebrities but... I have decided to show a personal take on it and do an early morning right out of bed un-showered self portrait before and after photoshop job. Why am I doing this? 1 because people still don't realize that the images they see are enhanced and touched up. 2. To show my clients that it's ok to strive for external perfection but only a great photoshop artist will reach it. | |
Before Photoshop
Yes that is me. I woke up, set my camera on its tripod and took a self portrait to do a before and after photoshop touch up job on myself. However, I must tell you that this guy in the self portrait didn't have any coffee, didn't take a shower, didn't put on make up, didn't have clean clothes on and didn't have a desire to take a self portrait. Ok! Let's take a closer look at what you are looking at.

After Photoshop
Not bad for someone who just woke up however, the sad thing is that there are millions of people that want to look as perfect as the photo I created above. They become depressed, lack self worth and don't know the full truth while striving for the unattainable. I am not saying that people shouldn't strive to look and feel their best. On the contrary, I am saying that people need to know that what they are looking at isn't quite what they think they see.
Please Know The Facts.
Television and magazines create illusions. Hollywood celebrities and models have many more issues of self than you and I can imagine. As a headshot photographer I have yet to see anyone come in for a session who looked as flawless as I photoshoped myself to look.
