Photos Lie

I cannot say that I love Oprah, but I have a lot of respect for her, which is why I chose this photo. This photo struck me because the body does not match the face at all; the proportions are just all wrong. he photo was created by Dartmouth grad Hany Farid. The body image is of Ann-Margret and was taken in 1979 as a publicity shot. On the cover of TV Guide, Oprah's head was placed on Ann-Margret's body. The photo was most likely created for the purpose of humor. Aside from making Oprah and Ann-Margret unhappy,I do not believe this photo was meant to harm anyone. The photo may have been created to relate the power of a woman to her body image, or it could have something to do with Oprah's yo-yo weight loss.





This was just amazing. This was one of the first videos I found and it just amazed me. I believe it shows that, through photo manipulation anyone can be beautiful. Knowing what can be done to a photo of an old woman should show what extremes can also been taken to improve the photo of a celebrity. Therefore, young people should consider how much a beauty shot is manipulated before it becomes the cover of a fashion magazine. This should remind everyone that no one is perfect, not even celebrities because basically every photo that gets taken of them is manipulated in one way or another.
