PROJECT PHOTOSHOP 1 - Green

Published:

Description

This is the first in a new little project of mine trying to highlight the extent of how much models and celebrities can be airbrushed in magazines to convey an unattainable image. So many people out there - male and female - are fooled into believing that people in magazines really look as flawless as they appear. 99% of the time, this isn't actually the case.

What I'm doing in PROJECT PHOTOSHOP is to take photographs of my friends without makeup on, in as natural a state as possible, and then Photoshop it to the Nth degree to show how the manipulation of images can make anybody look like a model, simply to try and prove the falseness of airbrushed images.

-----------------

In this image, I have:
* smoothed and airbrushed blemishes from the skin
* added more highlights and shadows to the hair
* darkened the t-shirt
* whitened the eyeballs
* reddened the lips slightly and hidden the tooth
* added eyeliner and eyeshadow with a soft brush and airbrush
* increased the brightness and contrast
* added a overlay 'glow' and a vignette edge

-----------------

Model: Hayley McBride

-----------------

I know it's not perfect, I know! ^-^' But I'm not a professional - I'm just a little amateur photographer/university student trying to get a point across.

For anyone reading this who needs the encouragement or just a little boost - everyone is beautiful with the skin they are in - including you. :)
