Fashion Photo used for a billboard

Post by Mike Jackson »

I saw this clip on one of the morning shows yesterday.

It shows an average looking girl being transformed into an attractive image used on a billboard.

The TV show eliminated the soundtrack. I found it interesting to see the Photoshop adjustments on the final photo.

You may get a kick out of seeing it, too.

Thanks Mike,
When I was growing up going out to my dads shop at Knott's Berry Farm he had a back room where one guy did show cards on an esel. There was red plush carpet and the walls were covered totally with Playboy center folds in poster board matted frames. I'm not sure how old I was when I first when into that room , Maybe 10 or so but it took me about 20 years to figuire out that women weren't that perfect.

I am still looking for them....
Eventhough I am aware of the fact that in magazine's the pictures are photoshoped and in movies they use special lighting, lenses and do even have the special effects department altering the bodies and faces.
Woman are unhappy, because they do not look like that perfect image and dump guys like me are still looking for that perfect girly who has the glossy magazine face and body.
While working out for years in the gym to get that Calvin Klein body that will never happen.
I need more of these videos once in a while so I can get my feet back on te ground. :roll:
Thank got for my new glass hobby, new priorities. :wink:
