The image above is above of a part of the Dove real beauty campaign. The link goes to a website about marketing and how effective the campaign for Dove was. Although it does not really pertain to the truth of the photograph the background information behind the photograph was interesting to learn. Back to the image... On the right side of the image we see a woman how she is naturally. On the left her hair and makeup has been done. Although we cannot tell in the photograph just by looking at it she has also been Photoshopped or edited in the computer. Many times when we glance at a photograph we do not take the time to see if it actually is real. A lot of the photographs we see in the media are not real. A lot of people take what photographs contain as truth, however it is now easier than ever to manipulate a photograph so what we see is not actually real. I chose this photograph because I saw the video connected to the photo a few years ago and I have not forgotten it. The model on the left is not even close to being real. We however want to think it is because it is a photograph and we like to think they tell the truth. When we look at a picture we only see one moment we do not know what took place before, or after we have seen the picture to change it. I also added the video if anyone would like to watch the whole process of the model becoming the women on the left.
