Want that perfect magazine cover model body?

Find someone who knows Photoshop. I’ve said this before, but I found this video, created by diet.com, so now hopefully you can see how things really happen.

The photographer in this video is pretty candid about what goes on in the fashion/model world. However, Sarah, the host, is already very fit, so photoshopping her almost seems ridiculous (which I suppose is part of the point). That said, check out this YouTube video to see some changes he made, even to an already fit individual.

And remember, go easy on yourself. We’re all human trying to do the best we can. Exercise regularly, eat to nourish (and of course enjoy without over-indulging!) and know that you are beautiful as you are. And if you’re still not happy? Well, we’ll cover that in another post.

  1. Thank you for sharing this. I knew, but I didn’t KNOW. It really is interesting to see and hear how it all works.

  2. wow, this was fascinating. I’ve seen the edited and unedited photos before, but seeing it like this is just crazy. I’m so glad that more and more celebs are speaking up about how they way they look both in magazines and even special events is unrealistic for the average person.

  3. The fellow in the video says he can do anything “within reason.” He’s wrong. The good ones can do ANYTHING.

    You’ve seen this, right?

  4. There’s nothing photoshop can to a photo do that effective use of sandblasting technology can’t do in real life.
