CNN article: hotel photo fakes

[heyjoe]

Stumbled upon this today on CNN.com, a story about how hotels use misleading photos for advertising purposes. They have a few interesting (funny?) photo comparisons of advertised photo vs. real photo.

You mean my room isn't going to come with the pictured laptop, champagne, and complimentary escort?

Damn them photographers and their telephoto lenses.

That's why commercial photographers get paid the big bucks.

Come on! When you open your BigMac, does it ever look like they do in the advertisements? :lmao:

Anyone not understanding that advertising always shows products in their best light is naive.

The last set of the photo. The perspective distortion play in a big role.

Those photographers definately knew how to work the angles.
