"Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be".1
So on America's Next Top Model, Tyra gets behind the camera and take picture's of all the up coming models.
In each cycle is different photo shoot for specific reason.
On cycle 13 are are girls that are 5,7 down, Tyra sets up a beauty photo focusing on there upper body.
She teaches them to show expression on there face and though there eyes, also posing in a way that makes them look tall. Another thing that Tyra teaches is to make an illusion with your body using light and shadow to shape your body.
The photograph that was well noticeable to me was a photo from cycle 12 was of Allison that Tyra took of her in Brazil.
The theme of the picture was a bird in it's nest. The atmosphere that the photo was able to bring was a dark cold surrounding with a bright warmness in the center almost like pudding making the center of focus is of Allison.
What makes her stand out of the picture is that there is more lighting on her which makes it the first thing that you look at.
The way Allison is posing makes her look like a bird, with her head tilted on the side facing the camera, also tension in her arms which expands her upper body and make her look long,
and makeup and hair style sets the mode.
"So successful has been the camera's role in beautifying the world that photographs rather than the world, have become the standard of the beautiful".2
So what Tyra does is she using the camera's role in beautifying the world YES but she is beautifying a Haman's body in the world which explains improving the human body.
And the picture's that she takes, and what she does are a stepping stone for the girl's onto the fashion world.
