Shine Studios, the video game maker? What are there wereabouts on a web search? Of course Shine Studios brings up many other different businesses that are still around. Very interesting, quite different idea and practice area though. Photography to make any ordinary girl look like a supermodel. “All women are beautiful.”

What are the essential elements that make for a beautiful photograph? There are only two that I find to be consistent: lighting and posing. Lighting should be bounce-scatter lighting of a large area light source so as to eliminate harsh highlights and shadows that exaggerate wrinkles and the like, especially on the face. Yes, I know, it’s trying to hide the real “texture” of what makes real photos real, but it’s what people like to see for human subject photography. And the posing? Well, I would have to put together a guidebook on that, that’s quite a bit more challenging.
One important point is that there is no one clothing outfit or hairstyle that is outright more beautiful than another. All variations can be creatively worked out through posing to look good, regardless of one person’s particular preferences. Likewise can be said about being out of shape, carrying extra weight, etc.
And, what about the results of the photo from a substantiative perspective of the subject? The photographer believes having a beautiful photo of yourself at your best can be a great boost of self-confidence for those days when you are feeling down and struggle to see the beauty in yourself. The photographer herself has found photos of herself to be beneficial in this regard.
Another interesting note about posing, paraphrasing. “Being pretty isn’t always comfortable. Prepare for feeling like you’ve been through a good workout after the photoshoot.” Well, now that’s an interesting general idea, are there other ideas on this searching the Internet? Indeed, one good point to put forth. Yes, although beauty can be a healthy complement for women’s self confidence, being known as a beautiful women 24/7 is challenging. It makes it harder to build genuine friendships with both women and men: womem will be constantly thinking of them as competition or snobby, men will be thinking about dating them. Another point, if one makes a habit of using makeup and lipstick, the converse, the possibility of an anti-complement of not looking beautiful, is harmful for self-confidence, so this can also make a vicious cycle where women will want to always put on makeup and the like.
Also mentioned is a conundrum about women wasting time on makeup and the like in the morning to look pretty, lest they give up just one day and get complements that they’re not looking so good today. When really, it is not looks that gets you through life, but it is brains.
