Hey guys, also consider that Dove and that sexist deodorant brand Linx are owned by the SAME company. Two different branches obviously, but the same company nonetheless. We have good advertisements like this for Dove (that woman does look amazing after the hair and make up, but the photoshop was clearly not necessary, I can see that was the point) and then there games on the Linx website called "wash the mud of Kristy", and "Kristy" is a Playboy babe.
This video's been reposted a dozen times, this was not for a wedding photographer, it was for a fashion shoot. COMPLETELY different story. Weather you like it or not for fashion is up to you, but it CAN NOT be equated to wedding photography. Wedding photographer's don't do anything anywhere near this.
@asheebee30 well... in my opinion your clients are lucky then! lol. But they're not being forced to do it or anything, they agree or disagree in the contract. I just get annoyed with these videos that act like people are being forced into getting made up, "Would You Let Your Wedding Photographer Do This?" should be re-named, "This is what you can have your wedding photography team do for you"
I am a photographer, and I do not go this extreme for retouching on my clients, unless they request for it. However, for any commercial photographers they might go extreme like this for magazines, billboards, etc., but most photographers do not go this dramatic. Retouching is a lot of work, so I tried to avoid to do as much retouching on ppl's face as possible.
What the.......WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS DO NONE OF THIS!!!!! If you knew anything about photography you would know alterations like this happen in the fashion and marketing industry where they'll do almost anything to sell a product. Wedding photographers are there to capture the beauty of WHAT IS. This video just shows how far out of reality companies will go to get you emotionally attached to their products by giving you an extreme goal of perfection that REALLY, no one will ever reach
this is pathetic. you don't love yourself to do this to yourself. why try to be what your not. coz when people see you in person, its your face, the enhancements will not exist there. to do this is to be ashamed of who you are and what you have. coz this program can make you look good only in one pic, not real life. be proud of who you are.
overly dramatic and has nothing to do with wedding photography.. this was made only to make people think this happens all the time, just like how smoking commercials make everything overly dramatic and depressing
this is nothing to do with weddings this was an anti-beauty add for teens in 2008 look it up online jesus how something that was suppose to be good could be turned into something so stupid ill never understand
Wow! I have been told that I do not look anything like myself when my photo has been taken with my make-up and hair done each and every day! It makes me feel really good. I also have days that I wear no makeup at all and feel good too. I am shocked at the extent that photography has gone on ads for beauty ads today. No wonder there is such an alarming rate of young women with anorexia nervosa.
They kinda purposely overdid it. I'm a professional retoucher, its very rare to see something like this. This kinda stuff is actually really frowned upon. The best retouchers are the ones that look like they weren't even there.
I am glad to see that I am not the only one who was confused by the non-wedding theme of this wedding titled video. It looks to me that this is to show people that there are 0% of people who look like the cartoon characters on billboards.
All digital photos NEED to be retouched. they capture too much detail, simple fact.. In the film days some of the blemishes etc were not captured because of the quality of film. Calm Down.
Okay guys, get over the outrage over the guy using the Dove ad and recognize that this is, sadly, what too many clients are expecting of us as professional photographers today. They see this artificial beauty treatment and think that
's what photos are for, not capturing them as they really are but remaking them into an ideal image that they never were.
I think this should be illegal! This was an advertisment made by Dove. The wedding photographer husing this to advertise his work is stealing and infringing on copyright. How about you make your own advertisement!? Also, this, as many people are saying, has nothing to do with wedding photography. Yes, as I wedding photographer I will touch up photographs so that the Bride feels gorgeous and loves her pictures, but I sure never would go to this extent. Wrong context and thievery!
I've edited photos to that extent for my calendars and other specific shoots. I have never edited a WEDDING like that. You'd have to alter every photo you took! And no, that's not Photoshop, it's a specific program just for portraits.
couldn't figure out what this has to do with wedding photography, until i realized that dove made a video that illustrates how fake fashion ads can be, and some other company who has nothing to do with dove, is using the video to link to them. kind of lame!!!
This has nothing to do with wedding photography. I am also a wedding photographer. What you have here is a fashion shoot. And that is a very different type of photography and photo editing. They are creating an illusion to sell you stuff. A wedding photographer is recording a significent event in your life. They will retouch blemishes, but to change an entire face is pointless.
This is an ad that was made to introduce young people into the concept that beauty can be an illusion.
@BarbaraJaneP So true I'm also a wedding photographer and I get so many clients now asking me to do this sort of thing because they saw this ad... Everyone forgets what the meaning of this ad is all they see is "wow they can make me pretty..." When the whole point of photographing the day is to remember how it was.
@BarbaraJaneP Thank you for making that clarification for those of us who DO real wedding photography and don't manipulate our pictures like this. This is made to sell something.
first off this has nothing to do with weddings...and even then there is a major difference between basic photo re-touching/enhancements and this...most photographers limit it to pimple removal, minor wrinkle reduction, and eye enhancements.
Who gives a rats ass what they do to an image... Far out! It's all for advirtisment and money, if you hate it so much, just don't buy the stuff they're selling.
If anyone had actually noticed this is was a campain vid for dove natural beauty.. nothing to do with wedding photography, and ErinCady1042 is right there is a huge difference between this and simple editing..
A professional wedding photographer does what the customer wants and is will to pay for. There is time and labor involved with high end professional retouching. So he wouldn't automatically do it unless the customer specifies it and is willing to pay for , to which implies a understanding between both parties. If you research their galleries you will already know what kind of work to expect.
-- At exactly 0:32 when they put her hair up, for few seconds or so she looks a bit like Elisha Cuthbert (as Kim Bauer in TV's "24," in the MOVIE: "The Quiet," & in the MOVIE: "The Girl Next Door" )
i would love a photographer like this :) oh get a life down below i think it is fabulous Christ who doesn't want to look your best ?? wedding photos hmm well come on most men want a homely girl for their wife thats true ..they like the homely girl to bring up children for them sort of like a breeder and plus homely girls dont get to know what bazteds most men are but good looking girls always are hit on by married men so guys know they couldn't get away with that much :)
hell no if a photographer did that to my wedding photos i would suew the pants off them.. fuck why does everyone have to look like perfect is being literally perfect doesn't everyone know that IMPERFECT IS THE NEW PERFECT... and that imperfections make us perfect the way we r..
I´m wedding and advertising photographer, and I follow the client´s desire, but there´s a good sense when we need to apply so many changes and them put my name on as a photographer...but the video is great. Trust me girl or boy you don´t need this...just some adjusts...lol
yea, this is crazy, i'm a portrait photographer and i edit my photos, but the most extreme thing i do is change the color and stylize the photos , sometimes i will soften/defuse the skin, or fix a stray hair, but anybody paying for photos wants photos of them, not someone else, if it's a glamour shoot then ofcourse there will be a tad bit more editing, but it's never this extreme!
Wow...this video was made by the dove soap company to show how our perception of beauty is scued because all these advertisements alter the people so much...this has absolutely nothing to do with weddings or products/services...
i used to be a wedding photographer, but i NEVER DID SOMETHING LIKE THAT. most wedding photographers might like take out a giant zit, but thats pretty much it.
I don't know ANY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER that DOES THIS!!! Give me a BREAK!! This is a FASHION SHOOT where she is hired as a MODEL to represent a product and that's what they are directed to do for the AD!! No photographer goes to these lengths for editing for a client shoot!! I am one... HUGE difference between adjust the exposure slightly and removing a blemish!
I am ALL for women/girls loving who they ARE which is the intent of Dove here! YOU making this against wedding photographers is a JOKE!!
Listen up whiners: there is a waaaaaaaaay bigger difference between the before/after makeup/hair treatment than there is between that and the touched up version. The lions share of the change happened in reality. The touching up enhanced what's already mostly there. Take another look. You think brides at the alter look like they do when they wake up that morning? No, so which is more "fake"? Just something to think about.
This has got nothing to do with wedding photography at all this was part of a Dove campaign to create awareness of what fashion mags do to their pictures before they get published. Search for Dove evolution :D
I think she looks stunning, it certainly brought out the beauty of the woman, she is beautiful, edited or not, i'm sure any woman would feel 1000x times prettier having a photo like this.
this has nothing to do with wedding photography! I'm a wedding photographer and I, like others I see commenting, just take out blemishes or minor adjustments like that. Seriously, nothing to do with wedding photography - it's about capturing the happy couple, not changing their faces!
I totally agree with ErinCady1042, this completely beyond what us wedding photogs do. I too remove some blemishes and lighten and darken areas, just like Ansel did with his dodging and burning in the wet darkroom. This is certainly NOT what a wedding photog does. Michael Hacker Photography
I actually like the natural look; maybe some of the skin blemishes disappearing was a good thing, but overall, I was turned off by the final product especially when her neck was distorted.
I know many disagree with me, but I am overwhelmingly disgusted by the whole "anorexic" look being embraced. Embracing the look of anorexia is more of a sickness than anorexia itself. More parents have to instill self-esteem into their kids for this to change
@GATFOCT great comment, i agree 100% im a photographer & i may remove a small blemish or adjust brightness & contrast, and make some black & white versions but i hate over edited photos, especially portraits/human subjects, i like natural photos.
I am a Photographer and Photo Processer. I do this for almost all of my clients, the ones that can afford it that is. I hear people bitching about stuff like this, but when it comes time for their photos they are all on board. I understand the problems that come with extreme processing, they are just not big enough for me to care about. I do what the client wants, and I do it well.
@trishiag Very little is off limits when it comes to G-rated Shock Value. Lies certainly aren't off limits. Actually R-rated Shock Value is far more limiting than G-rated Shock Value.
YEP - becasue ou trphotographer had a WRONG setting- and NOT ONE PICTURE came out - a few looked like we were in a cave!!!! FORTUNATELY - we had also planned for everybody to take their own pictures - and passed out 50 of those cameras in a box!!! Those turned out to be the only pictures we have - and MANY were sent to us!!!!!
Um Yea I do wedding photography and am an Adv. photoshop user.. But I would NEVER go to this extent Blemishes correcting lighting is one thing but to actually alter features to a point beyond recognition .. I think you are mistaking this for commercial and magazine work... not really wedding styles UNLESS. the couple has requested extensive work to be done. IMOP that is up to them who are you to tell them they cant or they are wrong.. Theyre the one's living with the images not anyone else.
No way you can do that in Lightroom, that is photoshop. LR is used to touchup pictures, fix lighting, exposure, tones, curves, cropping etc, but not to actually alter the picture in the ways shown in this vid. I know this because I use LR everyday
I've actually been to alot of photo shoots for modeling and such, and what suprised me the most was actually how normal most all models are in looks. nothing really stands out, and even the pictures show the same thing i see, yet when we take our photos and get them ready for magazines and other ads, half the time i dont even recognize the model in the picture of the after shots because so much touch up has been done. and these are models i ate with and hung out with for days.
The entire point is that this isn't how wedding photography is done but it is how fashion photography is done. If we expect our wedding pictures to be realistic why shouldn't we expect images used for advertising?
PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT something bad will happen. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS ACTUALLY WORK
"What does it have to do with wedding photography?" Are you kidding me? Have you seen the whole process all the brides go through for the shots? Is amazing! Sometimes they just look completely different to the real person! And not just the make up, but also the touchups sometimes is just ridiculous, not a single wrinkle, skin looks like plastic, if at open sky the sky is as blue as blue can get (impossible!) Trust me, no bride would like the whole set of before and after shots.
What this has to do with wedding photography is completely and utterly beyond me. Like ErinCady1042 said, the most I do is remove the occasional pimple for my wedding editing. I don't know of ANY wedding photographers who perform this level of digital reconstructive surgery.
From what I can tell, the copying of this Dove video is just cheap propaganda for your "website". Quit scaring brides and leave wedding consulting to the professionals.
I think she was beautiful before all of that editing

yea, this is crazy, i'm a portrait photographer and i edit my photos, but the most extreme thing i do is change the color and stylize the photos , sometimes i will soften/defuse the skin, or fix a stray hair, but anybody paying for photos wants photos of them, not someone else, if it's a glamour shoot then ofcourse there will be a tad bit more editing, but it's never this extreme!

I don't know ANY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER that DOES THIS!!! Give me a BREAK!! This is a FASHION SHOOT where she is hired as a MODEL to represent a product and that's what they are directed to do for the AD!! No photographer goes to these lengths for editing for a client shoot!! I am one... HUGE difference between adjust the exposure slightly and removing a blemish!
I am ALL for women/girls loving who they ARE which is the intent of Dove here! YOU making this against wedding photographers is a JOKE!!

Listen up whiners: there is a waaaaaaaaay bigger difference between the before/after makeup/hair treatment than there is between that and the touched up version. The lions share of the change happened in reality. The touching up enhanced what's already mostly there. Take another look. You think brides at the alter look like they do when they wake up that morning? No, so which is more "fake"? Just something to think about.

Remember the days before Photoshop?
It would be so nice if photographers everywhere could spend more time shooting the perfect photo and less time editing a photo to perfection.
I recommend joining the face book page: All women are beautiful on the outside!

This has got nothing to do with wedding photography at all this was part of a Dove campaign to create awareness of what fashion mags do to their pictures before they get published. Search for Dove evolution :D

I think she looks stunning, it certainly brought out the beauty of the woman, she is beautiful, edited or not, i'm sure any woman would feel 1000x times prettier having a photo like this.

this has nothing to do with wedding photography! I'm a wedding photographer and I, like others I see commenting, just take out blemishes or minor adjustments like that. Seriously, nothing to do with wedding photography - it's about capturing the happy couple, not changing their faces!

I totally agree with ErinCady1042, this completely beyond what us wedding photogs do. I too remove some blemishes and lighten and darken areas, just like Ansel did with his dodging and burning in the wet darkroom. This is certainly NOT what a wedding photog does. Michael Hacker Photography

I actually like the natural look; maybe some of the skin blemishes disappearing was a good thing, but overall, I was turned off by the final product especially when her neck was distorted.
I know many disagree with me, but I am overwhelmingly disgusted by the whole "anorexic" look being embraced. Embracing the look of anorexia is more of a sickness than anorexia itself. More parents have to instill self-esteem into their kids for this to change

@GATFOCT great comment, i agree 100% im a photographer & i may remove a small blemish or adjust brightness & contrast, and make some black & white versions but i hate over edited photos, especially portraits/human subjects, i like natural photos.

I am a Photographer and Photo Processer. I do this for almost all of my clients, the ones that can afford it that is. I hear people bitching about stuff like this, but when it comes time for their photos they are all on board. I understand the problems that come with extreme processing, they are just not big enough for me to care about. I do what the client wants, and I do it well.

Um Yea I do wedding photography and am an Adv. photoshop user.. But I would NEVER go to this extent Blemishes correcting lighting is one thing but to actually alter features to a point beyond recognition .. I think you are mistaking this for commercial and magazine work... not really wedding styles UNLESS. the couple has requested extensive work to be done. IMOP that is up to them who are you to tell them they cant or they are wrong.. Theyre the one's living with the images not anyone else.

I find this to be useless, I mean why does anyone use an ugly broad like this in the first place only to retouch the hell out her.
This should have been titled; "how stupid can a photographer be for using an ugly ho's, Part I."

Because most models actually look like her before a shoot!
So how many beauties did you have had to photographer since aparently have access to beauties.

This looks like it could be ADOBE LIGHTROOM. It is a more suitable software for high-end photography editing.

No way you can do that in Lightroom, that is photoshop. LR is used to touchup pictures, fix lighting, exposure, tones, curves, cropping etc, but not to actually alter the picture in the ways shown in this vid. I know this because I use LR everyday

I've actually been to alot of photo shoots for modeling and such, and what suprised me the most was actually how normal most all models are in looks. nothing really stands out, and even the pictures show the same thing i see, yet when we take our photos and get them ready for magazines and other ads, half the time i dont even recognize the model in the picture of the after shots because so much touch up has been done. and these are models i ate with and hung out with for days.

The entire point is that this isn't how wedding photography is done but it is how fashion photography is done. If we expect our wedding pictures to be realistic why shouldn't we expect images used for advertising?

"What does it have to do with wedding photography?" Are you kidding me? Have you seen the whole process all the brides go through for the shots? Is amazing! Sometimes they just look completely different to the real person! And not just the make up, but also the touchups sometimes is just ridiculous, not a single wrinkle, skin looks like plastic, if at open sky the sky is as blue as blue can get (impossible!) Trust me, no bride would like the whole set of before and after shots.

What this has to do with wedding photography is completely and utterly beyond me. Like ErinCady1042 said, the most I do is remove the occasional pimple for my wedding editing. I don't know of ANY wedding photographers who perform this level of digital reconstructive surgery.
From what I can tell, the copying of this Dove video is just cheap propaganda for your "website". Quit scaring brides and leave wedding consulting to the professionals.
