Takes all kinds, I guess.
Portraits are a tough way to make a living. There are a lot of people who
don't like the way they look and they won't be happy with their portrait
no
matter what you do. The photographer you mention is caught between a rock
and a hard place. If he doesn't fix the wrinkles and blemishes then some
customers will hate it. If he does fix them then other customers won't
like
the work.
This is rather a trend in glamour portraiture now, although Ms. Carter may
be getting somewhat carried away. Or, one could say she is on the vanguard
of trend setting, depending on your inclination.
In many respects, the glamour market has been trying for this look for a
very long time, and now that the technology to achieve it easily has
arrived, it's not surprising that it is being done.
