‘Photoshop hero’ questions social media images

One photoshopper Chinese, known by the name of @Kanahoooo, decided to show exactly how the images published on the Internet and disseminated by the media and advertising are not always true. Called a “Photoshop hero”, he aims to make people question the veracity of the photographs.

O awesome.club decided to show a little of what this social media hero does.

Photoshop is one of the most used tools to change body image.

The problem is that this image of perfection disseminated by the media influences the perception of what is beautiful and what is not, making people who do not fit the standard consider themselves ugly and fight to obtain this image.

@Kanahoooo became famous by re-picturing people from their dating profiles, telling them “never trust what you see online”.

He has over 400,000 followers and works with images of men and women alike.

There may be a reason why a talent like yours has become well known: media pressure is considered extreme in countries like China, Korea and Singapore.

The pressure to always look beautiful and young usually makes people hire someone to make their online image approach that expected beauty standard.

Magazines also manage to pressure audiences of all ages by suggesting that you can only get what you want and be happy if you are absolutely perfect.

But even though it is an “experts only” editing tool, Photoshop has become commonplace in many people’s daily lives.

Both in the lives of men and women.

Even selfies are “tweaked”.

“The Photoshop Hero” conveys what he learned from that job to anyone who’s ever wanted to compare themselves to an image online.
