Photoshop, truly the plague of this business, and here's why.

[InsidiousCid]

Photoshop is obviously rampant with models on magazine covers, billboards etc. And no one is losing any sleep over that.
Because of course we understand it, it's commercial, selling a product.

So how does escorting differ?

Because, when it comes to escorting, it's the actual person in the pictures themselves that's being marketed (independently). Not some external product they're endorsing.

A little airbrush here, and little filter there, no harm right?

Most clients don't seem too perturbed.

If I had my way about it, one clean sweep, any kind of photoshop at all would be a thing of past. To me it is positively and unquestionably thee worst thing about this business.
But why?

Simple reason: how the girls present in enhanced images, it's not that they're necessarily "more beautiful" or "more aesthetic" or more "perfect looking". And this is the reason why photoshop in escorting differs so dramatically from photoshop in other forms of marketing.

It's because those changes in facial features, in body type, quite frankly in how refined they look? It changes our perception of their personality. Their attitude. Who they are and how they behave.

And that's the basis of how we gauge an appointment would play out, what we expect from it, or even whether to attend them in the first place or not.

In other words, it's the ultimate bait and switch.

Anyways, I'm just saying, I hate photoshop.
