Photographer Offers Teenagers the Opportunity to Edit Their Photos
Photographer Rankin lets teenagers edit their own photos for Instagram, showing how young people wish to perceive themselves.
A little of this, a little of that - bang! That's how fast you can edit your own selfie. Even those who have no idea about how Photoshop works can make their eyes shine, remove imperfections, make their face appear thinner, etc. The artistic freedom is nearly unlimited. In his "Selfie Harm" project, British photographer Rankin shows how much teenagers would change their appearance if they could. As part of the "Visual Diet" exhibition in London, the effects of photos on mental health were illustrated.
The photographer calls the pictures "scary" and on the following pages you will see how right he is.
