Print Ad Lingerie Models – Real Or Fake?
If you are a lingerie model hitting the runway then you have to be in shape. No celullite showing, no bumps and lumps where there shouldn’t be any and of course not an ounce of fat. And too thin, that is another topic altogether, we know the controversy on that subject.
But does size even matter at all for print ad models? I mean is there even a photo of a model or celebrity that is not photo shopped within an inch of being real anymore? You can easily shave 10, 20 or 30 pounds off a person, take away a blemish or spotty patch of skin, make their legs longer, butt firmer, lips fuller, breasts smaller, hair more blonde, cheeks more pink and posture straight.
What we are seeing in magazines is very seldom very real at all. Why bother hiring a model at all when you can just create the image you want right from the computer? Lingerie models in print is just a created image.
