Fashion Photography

Over the years Fashion Photography has changed, from a simple cover like this VOGUE cover from 1975 to one from a cover in 2005 where its far from simple. Having Drew Barrymore almost princess like it makes the reader feel like they can look like it. But is it what they seem? Drew Barrymore is not a princess at all she is just an actor. Whereas the 1975 cover show a simple women that people can actually look like, but the cover from 2005 which would take a lot to get to that kind of image.

The picture below is a clear example of what people want to be  'The skinny pretty' this picture is why fashion photography can sometimes be a bad thing, due to the way she looks a lot of the bigger girls and even skinny girls think they are not good enough this leads to Anorexia, and other eating disorders. 



Photo-shopped pictures mean they take away any wrinkles  they make the models look skinny some even make hair thicker all to make the model look perfect and make the reader go 'Wow'  but that may not even be what they look like. The picture on the left is a clear example of this the photo on the left you can see wrinkles and blemishes but the photo on the right she had perfect skin and its 'Beautiful'. This cause a fake image of what women look like, especially for the younger generation.
