Image manipulation is now an everday occurence, we accept it, we expect it - but is it right?
Is it right to portray something that isn't there in reality?
Is it deception?
Isn't the truth enough?
Maybe it's not that it isn't enough, perhaps it says too much...
Society seems to prefer the idealised, the improved, the near perfect.
The model with perfect skin and proportioned body....the enhanced photo to make the news more dramatic than it really is....the edited photo eg the Abbey Road album cover where Paul Mcartney's cigarrette is airbrushed out for USA audiences - to meet someone's moral code....
Where to draw the line?
Should it be pleasing to the eye?
Decided by the creative licence of the designer?
Play into an idealised/fantasy image?
Meet the audiences moral code?
Keep the staus quo?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - and to some - truth is beautiful :)
