Fakey

Back to the topic of portfolios and projects, some people have commented that the pics i put up look fake. Well they are kinda real, cept that they have been photoshopped like hell and i kinda have a problem of not knowing when to stop. So I'm posting up one of my own raw photos so you can kinda have a comparison.





I'm still wondering if i should tweak it a bit, like just to show that I' not a noob at photoshop. But does that tweaking extend to the composition? or just the color and contrast.

On a side note, is it possible for a person to truly not be themselves? Even if the person is acting or putting on a facade, there will still be quirks or intricacies that will be unique to the person. Granted that the personality on the whole will be fake, but would not the way that fake-ness is portrayed be of the person himself?

Random thought: I got 11.51 for my 2.4!!!

sometimes people have different facades to fit in with a group, or appear cooler/more unique/etc. or it could be to protect themselves because they don't want anyone to see how vulnerable they really are. yes, there definitely will be certain glimpses of the real person beneath the facade, but the person can ultimately choose not to reveal his/her innermost feelings or true personality.
