Despite the prominence of image-sharing websites and smartphones, Leibovitz argues that this will not lead to a decrease in demand for high-quality stills photography. In her own words she says ‘the future of photography is stronger and better than ever [...] In this day and age of things moving so so fast, we still long for things to stop.’

What are your views on the future of photography?

Each portrait in this series is an image of a dog shot through some sort of material or substance, be it wet glass, fog, etc. Nearly all of the dogs featured in the series had been abandoned by their human owners. Martin notes that each dog was handled with extreme care and was protected from any possible harm throughout the shooting process.

You can check out the full series on his website and enjoy a small selection of my favorite from the shoot below.

But the Photoshopping isn’t only used to thin out arms or clean up blemishes as you might expect. Besides thinning, it’s also used to add curves and smooth out muscles. Some celebrities have worked really hard at the gym only to have their cover photo hit the newsstands making them look as untoned as ever (see below).

Some would argue that these types of images create unrealistic expectations and standards for beauty in our society. Which is all the more reason to see some of the before pictures of these images, as we show you below.

So we now have both sides of the story, people being photoshopped to look smaller and others to look bigger. And then of course some to look younger. Will it ever end?

Check out some examples of these three different types of celebrity photoshopping:

In a recent interview with David Hobby of Strobist, Prihoda explains why he made the big decision to pick up and leave, and how this has affected him:

“I’m much more comfortable dealing with larger crews and delegating. I’m also much more at ease walking into an agency and showing my work or presenting my thoughts at a pre-production meeting or even just sitting and discussing ideas with the editor or art director of a magazine.”

“I feel as though Mumbai threw me into the big leagues with real players and real budgets. I suppose the most important thing for me is that I answered my ‘what if’ questions: what if I moved out of my comfort zone and went somewhere crazy and tested my skills, would I succeed?”

Prihoda’s film breaks through the busyness of everyday life and focuses on those fleeting and lovely moments in life that photography is able to capture. He describes the film as a “love letter to Bombay and to the good old ‘film’ days.”
