From the brilliance of Davinci’s ‘Mona Lisa’ to the present day, human’s have been FASCINATED with recording the human image as an item of beauty.
With the modern camera of today, either as a stand-alone item, to its integration into the humble telephone, the digital world has enabled every person to record the human image. Some might say, to excess.
Like it or not, digital photography gives everyone the ability that film of the 20th century or canvas and paint of the 16th century, did not.
Digital techniques and Portrait Fine Art can be questioned as to the ability to manipulate the human form to unrealistic expectations.
Steve’s philosophy is that any changes done are realistic, in that ‘ where they not there a month ago’, or ‘will they be gone a month from now’, then it is reasonable to assume that during a good photography session, the image is reasonably attainable.
