Click-click. Snap-snap. FLASH! Lean in. Lean out. Smile! Be yourself! Breathe, ah you’re gorgeous! Click-click. Snap-snap, work it girl! Good, relax! The best pictures will be the ones where you feel most relaxed! Awkward positions look great in photos I promise! Flash, snap-snap-click-clickity-click!
And now I sit at the computer and pick out the ones I like. Ah, beautiful! Oh that one’s nice too! The the photographer jumps in, “… your hair is beautiful, darling, long and luscious! Great eyes too, dear. Okay lets edit these.” In another flash my face is smooth, blemishes gone, eyebrows that haven’t been waxed in weeks all cleaned up, and my neck air-brushed . A little fake tan here, a little paler here, oh look how those bags under my eyes disappeared! Wait! That doesn’t even look like me anymore! I never thought I’d say put the bags back in, but please do! There that’s better.
Here’s the disc, take them home; put them on facebook! That’s two-hundred and fifty dollars please.
And, so I do put them on facebook. Comment after comment, you’re beautiful, you look like a model, oh my those are gorgeous! And each one makes me more happy more confident. The magic of the senior picture, no makeup anymore, just a little photo-shop and there you have it- a whole new you! Relax and feel beautiful, and after we erase your face everyone will reinforce that you are beautiful, as long as you look like a Gap model.
I love those pictures- both the airbrushed and the unedited- from that photo shoot. But, when I’m alone I hold up the edited one next to one of me on the Appalachian trail. In it I’m sweaty and without a shower for a week. I’m smiling, surrounded by snow, my hair greasy and pulled back. I can’t decide- in which one am I more beautiful? -Kelsey
