Just looking for honesty in the photos
I should try to clarify what I intended to say in the post above. I have no problem with straight professional photos that are of a documentary nature, i.e. that objectively portray the subject and have not been treated with photographic license to magnify or modify that which is being photographed to make it appear something that it is not.
The professional can play with many creative aspects of the craft to unrealistically diminish, disguise or enhance features of a subject. I would describe this practice as ?photographic puffery? where the image has been enhanced to the benefit of the model as opposed to literary puffery where words are used to inflate the written description of her. Little of this is kind of distortion is seen in ?selfies?!
Many of the professional photos girls present in their ?albums? are far better suited to hang in an artistic gallery than to be used as true depictions of themselves and such as these are not of much help to the average Joe who just wants to know what a girl really looks like whereas casual, spontaneous candid photos can often be far more useful, provided of course that they are reasonably well produced!
