Hey guys! Today I wanted to talk about something a little different. Recently I was reading an article talking about changing your photos to make yourself look better.
I got curious so I downloaded an app so I could play around with it.
As you can see, I've managed to change my photo quite a bit in just a few minutes of playing around. Obviously I've added a pretty flashy filter, but the other changes aren't so obvious.
What you may not notice as easily is that I've actually made my eyes slightly bigger as well as my lips and gotten rid of all my imperfections.
If you had never seen the original, do you think you could easily tell I had done more than add a filter?
Personally I've always been kind of against using these edited kind of photos on my blog because I don't want a younger girls, like my younger cousin, to see a bunch of "perfect" photos on my blog and think they need to look like that. I don't even look like that.
That's why I always try to use very lightly edited, if it all edited, photos of myself here.
As for others using these apps to edit there photos, whether you do or don't is up to you, but just think about the standard you may be setting for younger girls who may not realize you've used these apps.
I'd rather set a realistic goal myself.
What do you guys think, are you for or against using apps to create perfect pictures of yourself?
