Manipulating Images

I found an image which is about how models are photo shopped to an extent where they’ve been manipulated and it doesn’t look like the real them, which is a topic I feel strongly about. I’m interested in this topic as it has recently become a huge issue within the media industry as it is having a huge affect on young teenage girls especially and the self conscious, insecurity of the general viewers.
From the image above, it shows the complete change from before the editor had manipulated the image (the right), and after (the left). It really shows the drastic measures of technology that the media industry uses, especially within magazines to make them seem ‘picture perfect’. Both the images shown above, show the difference between natural beauty, and the beauty which viewers compare themselves to and are influenced by. It also shows contrast between real life and unreality. Furthermore, it is a prime example of how the media industry use stereotypical images of thin, beautiful models which the viewers think are natural.
