I came across an interesting video via my subscription to the Horse Think Blog about distorted body image due to models being retouched to death in Photoshop. It’s becoming such an issue that there are countries like France that are trying to pass laws against it or require disclaimers.

Obviously, as someone with a pinup photography business, I do a lot of retouching to make women look better than they normally look. On the flip side I have a 12 year old daughter and see what it’s like for girls to try to live up to that image. I’d love to see us as a society move away from this unreal image of women. It’s healthier and in my opinion honesty IS beautiful.

What do you think?
