Does this photo of Oprah Winfrey seem off to you? Oprah is depicted on the cover of this TV guide looking much slimmer than she is on live television. This is because her photo has been manipulated and cropped. This image is actually the head of Oprah and the body of actress Ann-Margret. I chose this picture because it was striking to see such a recognizable woman looking unusually slimmer and scantily clad. I feel that this photo manipulation is detrimental to society because it creates an impossible and inappropriate ideal for both men and women.
This video clip shows how intensively celebrities have their image manipulated after a photo shoot. I chose this video of Leighton Meester, a well known female actress, to demonstrate how much her photograph changes from when it was initially taken to the published photo shopped version.
Its really interesting how they basically put makeup on her... The work on her eyes is pretty impressive.
ReplyDeleteWhy did they feel like they had to make Oprah more attractive? The article is about her money.
ReplyDeleteIts crazy how much they have changed Oprah. I mean replacing an entire body seems a bit rediculous.
ReplyDeleteThe video is really cool. This is probably the way most of the celebraties look is enhanced on a regular basis.
