Welcome to modeling!
This story is as old as photography itself.
So... Models should just expect racism, and that's just.. cool with you?
smmfh... 🤦♀️
Wow your imagination really took off there, because that... is not what I said.
The story mentions AI to make this sound like something new and specific to AI. Whereas both heavy editing of portraits/videos, and Eurocentric beauty standards, are basically as old as photography itself.
I'm fine with criticizing the industry for racist stereotypes; can't we also criticize it for perpetuating the myths of unrealistic perfect bodies and complexions?
