Photo Bytes: ‘Curves Aheads’ Editorial, V Magazine #63

firstly, the pictures are slightly stretched so in a few the models look more slender than they actually are. i’ve seen this shoot on some other website and the difference is noticeable.
secondly, i don’t like the idea of putting fat models (they ARE fat. not curvy or full figured as the magazine claimes, just fat. i really doubt if any of them are in the healthy bmi range) in supertight and definitely not flattering outfits. seriously, the first thing you notice is all these rolls and bulges, not the clothes.
why the industry goes to extremes? it’s either malnourished girls with protruding bones or plus sized models proud of their untoned bodies. why not hire for shoots the normal ones? and if this seems too… well, normal, then please, photographers, editors in chief, stylists etc., stick to the skinny girls.
and though i’m openly disliking these pictures and the whole idea, i must admit the models are really beautiful (meaning faces).
