The delightful Kriss Abigail has done it again. This preview photo is amazing, and I can’t wait for the rest of the set. We shot nearly my entire collection, and Kriss’s eye for detail has me looking fabulous.
Posing for Kriss has given me a peek into the modeling world and how photo shoots really work. These photos are not real life. They are a creation. They are the result of hours of primping and lighting adjustments and uncomfortable poses and hundreds of frames and photoshop. It’s beautiful, but it’s not natural. And now I see every photo for what it really is because I’ve peeked behind the curtain of this illusion and seen how its made.
Perf!!!!
This is fantastic
I don’t know, it’s not that much photoshop depending on who you go to. Half the time I can’t tell the difference between edits and non if it weren’t for the watermark. I will say it is a good couple of hours for makeup/hair, but that’s because curls take time. And posing is really fun when you are just having a good time.
If anything, modeling has made me appreciate the art of photography and just the ability to capture a person’s beauty.
I’m not trying to blame everything on airbrushing or Photoshop. And, yes, posing and creating photos is fun. I’m just pointing out that this is a creation, this is not me. This is not real life. And it took me having a photo shoot like this to understand that all the images I am constantly inundated with, that shape my perception of reality, are not actually real. They only exist in a fraction of a second that was manipulated with light and makeup and posing and costumes, etc.
