My longing to improve my looks via The Body Shop is being replaced by my longing to improve my looks via Photoshop.
I think women see me on the cover of magazines and think I never have a pimple or bags under my eyes. You have to realize that's after two hours of hair and makeup, plus retouching. Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford.
Often if a picture is in trouble one way or another, there are ways to salvage it, through reshoots or whatever.
I believe Photoshop is in some way the contemporary darkroom, the creative area that all photographers have available today.
Computer enhancement has spread to still photography in advertisements, fashion pictorials, and magazine covers, where the human figure and face are subtly elongated or remodeled at will. Caricature is our ruling mode.
You become a model once you go through hair, makeup, and Photoshop.
I touch up photos so people look as good in their photographs as they did in real life.
Nothing wrong with retouching - nothing new about retouching.
When I started out, it was considered very wrong to change an image. There were scandals if someone inserted a sky into a war picture or something. Now it's all about that.
People strive to be models or actresses - but a lot of what you see isn't actually real. There is no perfect body. Everything is retouched.
Every time I take a photo, it goes into SnapSeed. Even if it's just a price tag on something, it still goes into SnapSeed, and I start editing it. I'm not a photographer, so I need all the help I can get when it comes to make a picture look cool.
I used to touch up my pictures on the computer and send them to friends. I would change colours, the design, and stuff like that.
My mom was a photographer and whenever they needed a baby for a modelling job, she'd stick me in front of the camera. That's how it started.
I'm a head-shot photographer. I have people come to my apartment, and I take their head shots.
I try to keep my filters simple. I don't do anything major to my photos.
The advent of digitally enhancing images - and the fact that actresses weren't protesting against that - created an environment where big corporations felt like they had total ownership over the bodies of actresses.
I love Photoshop more than anything in the world!
My mother had taken me to photographer Paul Hesse, who used some of my pictures on magazine covers.
Some photographers work on the same image for hours and hours and then use the first picture that they took.
