Photo Shoot With Michelle
It was raining on and off in South Florida yesterday. I had the afternoon free so a good model friend of mine and I got together to do some random shooting in Boca Raton. No frills kinda thing. Just some natural light shots. There wasn't much time to shoot as we lost our sun pretty quick since it was so late in the day. Still, it was fun and I always like to get some nice shots off on an otherwise quiet later afternoon. :-)

What Every Girl Needs To Know About Beauty & The Media
Click on the youtube video below after reading this post.

These days, as we all know, the media depicts a definition of beauty that is not only completely unrealistic but mostly unobtainable to the average human being. Not unless drastic measures are taken in the frustrating attempt to obtain the fulfillment of that definition of beauty that is presented to us. Things like cosmetic surgery, extensive and difficult to maintain workout regimens, or the most prevalent .... digital manipulation of images.
As a photographer, I am intimately familiar with every trick of the trade with respect to digital image manipulation. The technology available today is nothing short of magic. The tools available are exceptionally powerful for the tasks they are designed for both in still images and video. I have born witness to striking misrepresentations of a persons likeness in media outlets such as social networks, fashion model portfolio websites, and film industry sites.
I feel compelled to share the link posted above to people as it is one of the best examples depicting what is sadly a routine practice in today's digital media outlets. In the video, they are showing a female model but I'd like to expand on the notion of what is being shown in that these days this is very common practice for the depiction of both sexes in the media we are fed every day. Men and women alike.
I encourage you to share this post and your thoughts as well. :-)
Cheers,
Tobias
