Paid to Make Women Look Beautiful?

Posted by: admin on: 16 Jul, 2010

Crystal Renn, a well-known plus size model seen in June on the cover of Glamour who in the past has struggled with an eating disorder, was photographed for Ford Models looking rather skinny. This of course led to controversy about Renn’s weight and whether she was struggling again or being asked to lose weight by designers. All of this led to the Ford Model photo and Crystal Renn’s comments along with her agent sending a video from the actual photo shoot to prove that once again EXTREME Photoshopping takes place!

Did you know that people are actually paid to make women look beautiful(Sarcasm)?? Yea, me either! And according to photographer Nicholas Routzen that’s just what he did!

Read Below:

(Excerpt from NYMag The Cut)Photographer Nicholas Routzen explained that Crystal looks the way she does because the photos were “…taken from a higher angle with a wider lens.” But he also added, “I shaped her…I did nothing that I wouldn’t do to anyone. I’m paid to make women look beautiful.”]

As if being a beautiful woman is only attainable by the infamous ways of Photoshopping!  Or instead of beautiful maybe he should of just stated, “I’m paid to make women look PERFECT?!” So once again another industry mishap shows up everywhere in the blogosphere and internet.

You would think one day they might actually take hint!

Always nice to know that the images we’re supposed to conform to have been photoshopped to death.
