We feel pretty strongly about not using photoshop when editing photos here at Pompy Portraits! In a world full of filters and edited images, it’s easy to feel the pressure to conform to an unattainable standard of beauty. We want to challenge that narrative by helping the women of Jacksonville celebrate their authenticity and embrace their natural selves.
Our philosophy revolves around showcasing the beauty that’s already there, without relying on heavy editing or drastic alterations. Let me share why we rarely use Photoshop and the few exceptions when we do.
Embracing Real Beauty
We’ve all seen images of women in magazines or on social media that seem flawless but they’ve often been heavily edited to erase any trace of imperfections. It’s natural to compare yourselves to these photos, as much as we all try not to, so this can create unrealistic expectations and make us question our own beauty. We don’t want our photos contributing to that!
Also, it’s important to us that you feel good about yourself just as you are. At Pompy Portraits, our mission is to empower women to feel confident in their own skin. We believe your photos should reflect the real you, not a version society says you should be. That’s why we don’t use Photoshop to drastically alter bodies or features.
When We Do Use Photoshop
While we keep editing to a minimum, there are some situations where we use Photoshop sparingly. If you’ve got something temporary, like a blemish, a bruise, a bug bite, or a scratch, we’ll touch up those areas. These adjustments ensure that distractions don’t take away from the overall beauty of your images.
However, we don’t edit permanent features or change the shape of your body. The goal is to celebrate your unique beauty, not to conform to unrealistic ideals.
Why Authenticity Matters
Your photos are meant to be a reflection of who you are, inside and out. They’re a celebration of your confidence, strength, and individuality. By keeping our editing subtle and intentional, we help ensure that the images we capture feel genuine and true to you.
There’s so much beauty in the realness of our world, and your photos deserve to reflect that truth. The goal of editing isn’t to change how someone looks. It’s to remove distractions so their confidence and personality shine through!
