What in that technique is contributing to girl's negative self-image?

You should avoid oversharpening.
Benji is a good shooter, if a bit stuck in the 80's. He's done some campaigns for Swarovski, apparently. But he's always been a little hair-brained when it comes to post-proceesing. I've posted here illustrating the difference between sharpening extra and sharpening an already sharpened image. The difference is something like linear vs. exponential.
You don't even have to believe my tests, though. Take a close look at the hair in Benji's photo he links to. It' artifacted. You can see it in the feathers as well if you look carefully.
I wouldn't be so hard on the guy if I thought he was well intentioned. But here's the thing, and this is easily confirmed by looking at his history (basically all of his posts have been in threads about himself). Benji is not here to be an altruist. He's here to advertise.
If fashion photogs are what is influencing my 15yo daughter with stuff like this, I must say I am NOT impressed.
I have a hard enough time convincing her she is good looking and intelligent. This just undermines what I have to work on with her.
For the rest of the fashion photogs, put yourself in the place of REAL parents with REAL kids. And then remember the TRUE influence you have on them when you go to post-process those 30 pounds off the model.
Fashion photographers are not influencing your daughter. Magazine editors and art directors are. Take it up with them.
Sorry, that's a cop-out on the part of the photog.

Whoa, I have to ask, how in the world does sharpening at 100-180 not result in oversharpening? Particularly when you've already sharpened the image...

Stuck in the '80s??? Tell that to Vogue Brazil when I shoot for them in September...LOL ;-)
Thank goodness that the 80's look is back in Fashion. :lmao:
