And old media companies like Sports Illustrated and Playboy wonder why they are going broke.

They fly the models, photographers and crew all over the world to shoot pictures and then come back home and ruin the photos with awful retouching that looks like cartoons.

Retouching high-end (pardon the pun) magazine photos meant to grab men in the you know what has NEVER been about realistic retouching. Men already like to think that chicks don’t go the bathroom, don’t ever have body hair unless there’s something wrong with them, zits, cellulite, wrinkles or crinkles. The only time a real woman meets that criteria (because of a horny fog) is when a guy’s wearing beer goggles or is about a key turn from entering their apartment after the third date.

Also, I don’t know that SI is every specificially been touted as natural light and natural beauty. Loads of behind the scenes videos show a variety of shooting styles. One year it was a guy with a point and shoot consumer end camera, other times elaborate reflectors being held and dangled by a cabal of assistants, definitely speedlights and softboxes…sure, natural light and settings are exploited but this is far from real beauty. Most grown women can’t wear a 12 year old’s bikini. She does look like every hot chick warrior in every XBox or Playstation game though…..

maybe if she leaned forward, the M&M effect i am seeing would have been a little less pronounced…. :/

The retouching could have been a little better, but you are overreacting to it. It sounds like you are a bit jealous of sort that they are publishing work that are ‘below’ your standards and that your work could have been there instead, or?

Good find! Although this could just be a water mark for the image as its still owned by someone online!

I put a little animated Gif together to illustrate the point.
