A buddy of mine who makes a living as a model, told me that the trend in casting is clients requesting cell phone photos of models be sent to them instead of comp cards. Evidently too many models are lying about the way they look thanks to photoshop. It's never been easier to lie than it is these days. It got me to thinking, what's the biggest fib I ever told? While I've never manipulated anyones looks to misrepresent who they are, I remember one shoot that I was doing in a very hip Korean coffee bar. The stylist had this great looking pair of designer pants that only fit a rather short and portly crew member. The art director asked me if I could make it work.
So I did a photoshop weight loss & extension program.
