My idea for a creative project deals with celebrities before and after photoshop. This idea is something that is cool in a way, scary in another. The problem is that after seeing these photoshopped pictures for years, we start to believe that people with flawless skin exist. This makes real people with real, human 'flaws' appear to look bad. I know this type of photo retouching has been going on since way before Adobe Photoshop, but it seems to create an ideal that doesn’t exist. I guess the argument could be made that retouching pictures is art. For this reason, I will attempt to create my own art by retouching photographs of myself and others.
Suggestions are welcomed :)
