I asked my grandparents about some B&W photos of their wedding where their faces looked suspiciously smooth compared to the rest of the image. Apparently they were touched up by hand.
(Not saying that’s what has happened here, you could be right and it’s a modern edit)
Either way, it doesn’t really matter. The voice of the photo is what matters, not the reality. In today’s times, you have to take them as they are, not as they come off. AI and the Internet as a whole has given a voice to people who shouldn’t be given a voice. We have to evolve to keep up.
Knowing how, when and why something was altered is very important. It tells you a lot about the people involved, their motivations and even their “voice” as you put it.
it seems like their heads have been photoshopped into the picture. seems completely off
