Despite spending 6 years in an all girls boarding school, having two skinny brothers tease me about my shape and watching models strut past my desk on a daily basis I've managed to maintain an extremely healthy body image. How? I'm not quite sure. During my career I have rarely been directed by a photographer, art director or editor to create "unrealizable standards of physical perfection". I've found it is generally left up to me to set the bar. My work is often credited and I have a reputation to protect. If every retouched image was credited then maybe there would be a heightened sense of responsibility. Maybe educating retouchers and monitoring their perception of healthy standards is the way forward.Lynda Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17784745404971739595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026434701400495211.post-61807775453391044022009-06-06T19:09:14.828-04:002009-06-06T19:09:14.828-04:00Yay!Yay!William Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644680999111762542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026434701400495211.post-38367793149139921222009-04-15T14:34:00.000-04:002009-04-15T14:34:00.000-04:00Great to read your comments and discussions around...Great to read your comments and discussions around this stuff.<br />Wanted to let you know about a screening/ summit that's coming up on April 23rd in NYC.

He is correct that it can, must, be resisted at times; but that requires that the viewer have a sort of power of education and mental discipline, and this simply is not available to all, in this world as it is - the manipulation of image is sometimes art, sometimes a lie - all art is a fiction, except exact representation, which even then limits perspective to only one perspective - offering an image which is in reality unnatural, yet desirable, is like offering a highly refined drug, say cocaine, rather than chewing a wad of the coca leaf - a vast chasm between the two effects - If we were all university professors, and deserved to be and it was not an honorary degree, the previous author would have a more valid point, but as is, it is an hypotheses, an air-brushed opinion, as it were. - now what i have submitted here, is quickly within - intended neither to skewer unfairly nor mortally the other's thesis, and it does perhaps not completely exhibit a perfect logic - however - think about it.<BR/>He speaks of a perfect world, we are not there yet, therefore, things won't work that way, not yet - it doesn't mean we shouldn't move toward that greater perfection, but we can neither act as if it were already arrivedposthomohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570379092878305007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026434701400495211.post-5609795577863463592009-03-18T18:02:00.000-04:002009-03-18T18:02:00.000-04:00It just makes sense to me to not "censor" or contr...It just makes sense to me to not "censor" or control the art form that is photo manipulation and instead to educate the women who feel like they need to live up to these standards. <BR/><BR/>Lot's of people have acquired enormous wealth. And would it be fair to tell them not to show off that wealth in any way as to not give children the wrong idea about their "economic image"? Grow up! Parents need to inform their children. Schools need to speak about this. Children should be taught to see through the deception so we don't censor the art form or the quest to create a perfect image.<BR/><BR/>And, it seems a bit presumptuous to think that girls are effected by these images and don't know that they are manipulated. The internet has made skeptics of us all and young women are no exception. They know better than to think they aren't doctored in some way. In tandem, while it is important to help improve a young woman's body image, we can not expect to cure it with this measure or any other really. The teen years and the feeling of inadequacy are synonymous. For both men and women.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05135167004315344090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026434701400495211.post-82706525228416271012009-03-14T04:10:00.000-04:002009-03-14T04:10:00.000-04:00You know of course about this documentary and camp...You know of course about this documentary and campaign (2007) : <BR/><BR/>"the people versus the beauty industry"<BR/><BR/>http://judithdenhollander.wordpress.com/2007/09/20/be-honest-about-photo-editing-campaign/editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00183661478683188073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026434701400495211.post-14952641219829396622009-03-13T02:00:00.000-04:002009-03-13T02:00:00.000-04:00Thank for this jobThank for this jobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026434701400495211.post-69937063465005486942009-03-13T01:40:00.000-04:002009-03-13T01:40:00.000-04:00Jesse,I train your Mom at a gym in Boston...She me...Jesse,<BR/><BR/>I train your Mom at a gym in Boston...She mentioned your article and I was curious.

(The wording of the bill would make it illegal to "provoke a person to seek excessive weight loss by encouraging prolonged nutritional deprivation that would have the effect of exposing them to risk of death or endangering health.")<BR/><BR/>I would like to see in the law where magazines are forced to disclose retouching. And, how would that disclosure really impact the health issues around Anarexia and Bulimia? For anyone suffering under the impression that magazine images are 'truth', retouch attributions would also mean nothing. The image is much more powerful than 'some words'.<BR/><BR/>thx!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026434701400495211.post-35317888402386684672009-03-12T15:11:00.000-04:002009-03-12T15:11:00.000-04:00I loved the Op-Ed piece.

A day after watching I came across a reference to a fashion magazine called Eliza (http://www.elizamagazine.com/home.php) that doesn't do any touch ups. "We are realistic about women's bodies: we don't retouch bodies, and we mix real women and professional models." I don't care about fashion and don't have an interest in subscribing. Seems like a good way to "send a message" though if more people chose to send dollars toward publishers who stick to the truth.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18435208034336903291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026434701400495211.post-3321498625732264762009-03-12T00:19:00.000-04:002009-03-12T00:19:00.000-04:00Great piece...
