Reflections of an Artist: Fine Art Photography with a Splash of Prose (27) – Is Beauty Flawless?
While I can appreciate the skill involved in making a 40-year-old woman look like she’s not a second over 18, I really hate the impossible standards that images set for women of all ages.
That being said, you should know I’m a total hypocrite. I spend hours making my images flawless in Photoshop. Every speck of dust; deleted. Every sign of decay; rejuvenated. Any element that offends my eye; eliminated.
At least I can’t offend a flower by fixing its flaws. =/
What do you think about excessive retouching on women?
