What if Photo Enhancer Did Not Do its Job

I posted a picture of really odd and quirky enhanced photo of myself and some of my friends in facebook earlier today. It wasnt the type of enhancement we would like to have. Well, I did it not to embarrass anyone (hopefully they are not) or publicly humiliate them because I posted it in our secret group. I posted it to break the norm and to break the monotony of the day.

Anyway, after I have posted it i had realized something. Enhancing one's photo is extravagantly used to almost anything. The question I had in mind is why do people do a lot of photo enhancement? Isnt it better to look at the photo as exactly as they were produced?

For an artist, the photographer for that matter would use photo enhancement to highlight or to bring the best color effects in their photos. Using a camera sometimes doesn't capture the best cinematic effects of the colors say in sunset. Sometimes we use photo enhancement as well to make sure that we bring on the drama. Lets say there are themes that it is better to have it on black and white rather than in colored format or sometimes sepia toned color would increase the drama.

Advertiser maybe use photo enhancement to change the imperfection of their model. They can turn a "healthy" model to skinny one. Their models can have a perfect glowing skin, freckle free and perfect skin with a perfect face.

I would understand those reason as they are selling something or at least making a point. I also understand those who do enhance their photo's so they would look better. For me, sometimes natural beauty is all that matters.

Is this how you enhance your photo?

We know social media is in. it is the new generations world of wonders. Is it not disappointing when you were chatting with your old and longtime friend. You always do some catching up. You browse their photos and his profile pictures are awesome mazing. But, when you finally meet he is all the opposite of what you saw in the pictures.

But what if the PHOTO ENHANCEMENT made a major catastrophe... Will it still be fun? 

Beauty is not suppose to be tampered it is who you are that make you unique and not what you impose you are. Acceptance is the answer of how you look and not what you want others think of you.
