Advantages of Photo Effects.
A person who use photography knows that there are a lot of arguments about the use of photo manipulation. Should it be used to enhance images or does it only distort reality?
It is normal for me to take a photo and then put it on my social accounts with some effects. Photography is a way for people to take what they see in their minds and combine it with reality. In this way I think that it is fine to change a photo however you want.
However, there is one aspect of photography where people seem to disregard reality in a very harmful way.
What I’m talking about is commercial advertising. Photo manipulation is used to misrepresent bodies and not in any artistic way, but in a way that is trying to persuade consumers that an image is real.
When photos are manipulated in this way it is damaging to society.
We need to have our own opinions on this subject, but before we manipulate a photo to change the appearance of a person or even an environment I think it’s important to ask ourselves a question. Am I doing this just because I can?
