Photographer EXPOSES Instagram VS Reality

[@JessicaKobeissi]

[@mette1983]

As someone who suffers from anorexia this “series” helps me SO MUCH dear Jessica so please keep on making them🙏🏻🤗

[@pipsli]

i watch them for the same reason!

[@annarchy665]

Aww you guys look perfect❣️ don't compare yourselves to the Kardashians. They look like aliens formed with putty. Remember that some traits we see as flaws, others adore on us. ❤

[@isabear478]

yes but what are you gonna do when you find a pretty girl who doesn't photoshop

[@abbsk.1]

Once you point out the flaws, the pictures look so silly and I can’t unsee it! Especially Kylie’s magic eyeball

[@noemigomez2139]

I love how she just speaks the truth❤️ the photographer just sitting on the toilet, waiting killed me😂

[@NoreLyne]

😂😂😂😂😂 me too .. hahahah ❤

[@UnexpectedTurnOfEvents]

I used to do models portfolios and weddings... Retouching without giving away that you've photoshopped it is an art in itself. 😀

[@squash6497]

Honestly I no longer envy people's bodies, but their Photoshop skills

[@EsthersPersona]

"I don't get paid enough to do a deep dive there" took me out 🤣

[@ozmathegreatand]

Thank you so much for making videos like this. Last year I had some struggles and was starving myself because my body image was so bad. I’ve since been in recovery and reminding myself that what people post isn’t real has helped a lot.

[@Rileyw239]

My favorite Jessica series is back! As always I love seeing your detective skills.

[@moriahkirk1991]

Im dying at her commentary lol

[@Dogsofwar6612]

I will be showing this video to my two daughters in hopes that they approach what they see online with skeptism and never try to compare themselves to what they see online

[@Kathakathan11]

Chelsea you are an amazing mom, lots of love to your family. Have a nice day.

[@sophiaisabelle027]

We appreciate Jessica’s dedication and commitment. God bless her,

[@SadeMetsavirta]

That Nina one is crazy! She looks amazing in the original photo (in my opinion she's one of the most beautiful celebrities out there) and she doesn't even look recognizable in the edited one, wtf

[@jess_ismore]

Just saying the Gwen one is in an article, so let's remember it's very unlikely she was involved in the photo selection/editing process. That's on the media outlet for choosing an edited pic with a full face of makeup to go with content about her complexion.

[@Jlove85]

She did have to allow this tho, and she got paid for it I'm sure

[@jess_ismore]

@Jlove she did not have to allow it and it's very unlikely that she got paid for it. Unless it was a photo shoot specifically for that outlet (and given who it was, unlikely). But that's still not really how it works. She may not have ever even spoken with the outlet (they can pull quotes from other articles and license photos). Even if she did an interview with them, it is very unlikely she would have seen anything (article or pics) before it was published or had any say in "approval." Her publicist will keep an eye out for just about everything that comes up, and if they take issue with something (and deem it worth pursuing), can reach out to the outlet to ask for changes. But not everything is worth chasing down. That's a long way of saying the subject of the pic/content very rarely has the most control of the output when it isn't their own accounts or site.

[@Jlove85]

@@jess_ismore ooh u know what, probably right. I remember back in the day when celebs took issue w some of the articles n pics of them. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@redenavari]

Exactly! They're like: "She credits suncare and hydration for her perfect skin, let's laugh at her!" My guy, YOU edited the picture all too hell. You asked her about her skincare routine (or pulled quotes from other interviews), then posted the quote next to your photoshop bait.

[@THEMODELGENE]

I almost pity them, they are selling an image of beauty they can't even achieve but I am still surprised when I see aggressive photoshop in high fashion magazines, I thought we evolved past that. Every month, I'm reviewing on my channel the best and worst covers, and a lot of the time, it is too much photoshop that ruins a photo. In the May cover for Harper's Bazaar España, the mistakes you bring up are present; the over-whitened sclera of the eye, the blurring of the nasolabial folds.

[@KatieInTheLight]

“This little piece of hair made it. I’m very happy for it” 😂

[@navyt9862]

Jessica, you are a treasure! I have no interest in doing photography (or IG "culture"... or celebrities...😅) whatsoever, but your attitude, your compassion simply shines through in every video. I hope life will always treat you well!

[@15430Eve]

omfg Khloes shoulder pointing toward the camera is just... COMPLETELY flattened like... she edited out that she has a scapula???? I'm so uncomfy looking at that photo

[@15430Eve]

also with the eyes, if you can't see that lil pink meat in the inner corner, it's prolly retouched, especially if they're looking at the camera at an angle ❤

[@maryfaceeggo]

so I think a lot of these aren't edited on photoshop where you can liquify things very stealthily but done on phone apps, where there is usually just a slider to slim and tweak features and will often warp the background as well, that is probably why there are weird anomalies with the background doors and stuff, or maybe there was litter or something there they lazily got rid of with these phone apps!

[@leeroux5202]

Jessica we love you. Keep motivating us woman. You hype us up without even realising it. When we watch you it feels like we talking to one of our most realest friend

[@thejaguarback]

As for the KarJen family in particular, a lot of people think it's an equal mix of body dysmorphia and wanting attention. Badly edited pictures get comments and reposts and discussion.

[@somewhereright3160]

These photos are not even good. Are you sure this was done by professionals? I'm wheezing, this is so funny

[@jenniferbyrd7233]

I really hope you see this comment….when I FIRST started watching your videos {before} I learned of your struggles with cystic acne I thought your skin was PERFECTION!!! The color and the texture!!! I literally scrolled through the comments to see if anyone posted what products you used on your skin! It’s gorgeous!!! Also, I love all of your videos and your voice is so pleasant to listen to! And I love when you get really fired up and start throwing around and mixing in non-English words!! Love you!!!

[@imwonderstruckk13]

I had a thought… you think now it’d be possible to put the person on a separate layer and use ps generative fill to fill in the background and then place the edited person on top so the background isn’t warped?

[@TopHatNat]

Gosh I love Jessicas sense of humor and she's so gorgeous and doesn't even need any photoshop. Love xoxo

[@kpoprubix9812]

The chloe photo killed me😂😂😂 Idk how you can do this without laughing lmao. 😂

[@SP-kk5nj]

Re Gwen- I saw her live a couple of weeks ago and she really does look amazing. Not denying photoshop on the photo here, but irl she’s near a damn it, and no need for photoshop to be used on her. It’s insulting that someone would photoshop her.

[@Jennifer-pb9nd]

in Cloe's pic, it is interesting how the shape of her shadow does not match the shape of her body. and that arm, looks like her muscle was eaten completely away under the skin because they pushed in her upper body so much. also, it looks to me like the door had to be erased after they pulled kylie's pelvic area over to make the butt look bigger. No one's pelvis is shaped like that. the widest part of the "hips" is usually the greater trochanter of the femur, but her widest part in this photo appears to be the iliac spine. it's also causing an appearance of supination of the forearm proximally with simultaneous pronation distally. unless you have a fracture, your forearm should not do this.

[@kaitietheukulelelady5645]

Nina made herself thinner, but the before with the slightly wider face is much more flattering for her

[@lilMilara]

The way you comment on those ridiculusly hilarous edited photos always making my day. You are so kind and lovely. I would probably laugh so hard and commented on those photos waaaay harsh than you. Love u gurl! Have a lovely day

[@MeganButzin]

The most I ever like to edit on portraits of people is if they had a few blemishes because usually blemishes go away with time. Although I've had to do some photoshop jobs back in the day like adding more people to a group photo. In one case I remember the persons photo didn't have a full body or enough of the person to fit next to the others correctly proportioned and I had to google and photoshop pants on them to make it look like they were in the photo originally. 🤣

[@PageReader-oy1bh]

Thanks for helping us build their confidence and self esteem ❤ Most importantly, our piece of mind and mental health.

[@Yurasuki]

The photo with the black outfit at around 5:00 is really off. They made the shoulders and arms so small, not even an anorexic child has shoulders like that. I dont get why you would deform a photo beyond any reasonable anatomy. Someone did that to a photo of me without asking me. I immidiatly noticed, because I know what a real arm looks like. It makes me so sad seeing other people push their body dismorphia on others.

[@allylove1338]

i dont think little retouching is bad, like whiting the eyes, or getting some fly aways but many of these feel like they just take a blur tool and just go ham and they look bad.

[@cb034]

I bet you there was someone by the door in that Kylie pic where she's wearing red and she wanted that person edited out

[@eva5302]

You are brilliant !! I wish were more people like you !! Tired of so much fakeness, specially when affects young people who cant see that everything they watch in media isn't true !

[@jordynlee1490]

When Khloes photo came up, my eyes immediately went to her arms 🤣🤣 they look like spaghetti strands

[@HaddieTheHost]

I really hope Gen Alpha changes the way social media is used. The idea to live up to an “image” on social media is a joke. Filters are going and fake photos are going to be a something people laugh at people for in the future. The way millennials cringe at themselves for post 1000 random party photos…. People that have turned their social media into a “catalog” and trying to live their “best lives” when none of it is real is going to be beyond cringe in the future.

[@HaywoodJablomi_420]

I look bavk at my own old pictures from when I had an Instagram and they are so bad. I overly edited them to try to look like the celebrities on IG. I dont know what I was ever thinking and I am so glad I dont have social media aside from twitter any more. Its so freeing to not feel pressured to look perfect or to look at milliions of unattainable pictures that are made to make people feel jealous and question our own appearances. Ugh. I have been free from social media for 3 years and it has done wonders for me, I dont have anxiety about the way I look and I dont have to pay for facetune any more. I think everyone should get rid of it and just free themselves.

[@brookb5890]

I want to know who is editing these photos and if I can have their job. Even on gimp, I know how to erase the background of the image I manipulated and overlay the edited image onto the old background so that nothing looks warped or blurry that shouldn't be. With photoshop and CC I could be unstoppable 😂

[@Unkown_Meli]

You taught me so much. Thank you honestly! I thought the white eyes were legit. 💀

[@BasheerahAdams]

New subscriber, I don't know where I've been, but girl I'm here!!! Been binge watching the ANTM reactions and I love it!

[@intothemystic5223]

I think the 2nd picture with Khloe in that catsuit is edited by someone else. I know she has had a lot of photoshop fails but that was on another level lol Edit: 5:30 Omg look at the size of her arm 😂😂😂

[@jeremyfielding2333]

Looks withered. Is it? I wouldn't know.

[@RedCanyonWolf]

Khloe’s ARM! HER ARM! Omg! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@RedCanyonWolf]

And her shoulder! Omg it doesn’t even exist! Aaahhhh!!!! I’m dying 😂😂😂😂

[@laurawhitehouse7946]

The ones of Nina Dobrev are two different pictures 😂 I have no doubt they were both edited, but it’s not the same photo.. I think the one on the left that she posted to Insta was when she finished getting ready and the other one was on the red carpet.. of course they look different 😂

[@redenavari]

Yeah, no denying they're both edited but it definitely looks like photos taken with different lenses.

[@real.siberian]

They are so obsessed with the perfect look

[@majsmarken118]

This is such an important message ❤️

[@opmad5593]

I've been watching too many ghost videos lately, so all I keep hearing is Caspersight: "Look at the EYEBALLS!!" 😅

[@Alwayssjess]

I bet you anything the door was just an accident when they were using the clone tool like they accidentally swiped across or tapped something without realizing. I’ve literally done that before it’s so easy to miss bc that’s not where your eyes are focusing

[@charles11115]

We need more people to expose them like you can!

[@dawn428]

Seriously I just haven't got the time I'm too busy reading a book! I'll be 61 next May 😮

[@moriahkirk1991]

"Maybe they have a professional photographer or someone with the latest iphone at this point?" Lmao

[@EmyN]

We really want to look like dolls huh? It’s so self defeating going against reality, we *don’t* need to feel bad about how we actually look like

[@lisakaye3935]

12:43 I bet it was a trash can or ashtray 😂

[@larissafeltus6013]

5:20 how was the arm closest to the camera not mentioned LOL

[@GabeCoolwater]

THAT is Gwen Stefani from No Doubt????... No way. There's no way that's her. That's a totally different person. Doesn't even look like Gwen.

[@Hopischwopi]

Wait. Maybe those weird obvious edits that are doors that don`t even touch the people are for engagement? People point out the obvious edit on the door which is not bad because every comment is a good one if youu ask the algorythm. It could also distract people from looking too close at the person and what potentially is edited there?

[@kyles2629]

Noticing the shadow line was something I never thought of

[@Madellien]

"The whites of the eyeballs are working overtime." 😂

[@somasarker3544]

Did anyone notice how crooked Megan Fox's eyes' lower waterline look? lmfao Forgot to add, her irises are bleeding over the waterline.

[@12Kyra121]

With the picture with thw door that looked like a black hole will soon open into it, why are Kylie's hand looking so pterodactyl like?

[@redenavari]

Regarding Gwen Stefani though, it's not totally fair to me to blame famous people for not mentioning photoshop when asked about their skincare. The people posting these skincare quotes aside heavily photoshopped pictures should be held accountable way more.

[@TwixlerDev]

The door was probably a generative fill. I tried it a bunch recently and PS sometimes gives half doors/half pens/half stack of papers lol

[@charles11115]

OMG! I'm just laughing so hard right now!

[@twiggletteee]

This is bizarre, thank you for the analysis

[@boobabyboo2]

More of these videos please!

[@annarchy665]

Millions of $ of plastic surgery and STILL retouching. Should have used that money on their mental health.

[@BlackKoshka23]

The Nina Dobrev one at 9:24, she doesn't even look like herself in the instagram retouched photo! How could someone think that was ok??

[@BokushingusKendoTV]

This is why I don’t edit out stray hair, age lines or smile lines.

[@cameliatrendsetter2190]

Just imagine being so obsessed with altering your photos that you feel the need to edit even your hair. I was having bad days because my acne at times and I was editing my photos too, not so bad though, but lately I don't care. My face is just the way it is and I am happy with it, same goes to my body. This is just ridiculous. No one should believe these bodies and faces are real.

[@kelseeyyyy]

Love this video and your Zelda shirt ❤

[@cheyennes7681]

My stupid cell phone camera app automatically blurs faces. I've turned it down as far as it will go but it still does it. I genuinely hate it! If I want to edit my photos fine, but I don't like an app picking what they think is wrong with my face.

[@julespowell4896]

Well done for showing this.

[@jeanicee5620]

Even tho I agree, the lighting will not show every single fine detail on the skin and hands

[@emmqmora]

Yo no soy tan buena usando PS y no me importa, la única vez que tuve que utilizarlo fue para remover el pie feo de mi vecino. Esa área quedó muy rara, pero lo subí de todas maneras, porque salí linda 😂

[@kristinscotbarryjames]

Lol..."I feel for the door" ❤

[@ThePursuitofHappiness]

Love your sense of humour ;-)

[@noramero2955]

Hydration, moisturizer and spf but no mention of the real reason plastic surgery, dermatology specialist, or Photoshop.

[@Starryeyes333]

“I feel for the door” 😂😂😂😂

[@samanthaedwards3742]

I love this video tysm for making it !!! I found u on Instagram and sent u a DM bc I would loveeee to hear ur expert opinion on whether a photo was edited or not, rly need to u settle a debate I’ve been having lol

[@sylasgirl]

It seems like some of the backgrounds are (badly) edited to remove something in the photo

[@simoncina3578]

Where is chloe ' s arm?????.

[@Jessicamvflorida]

The qorst part of all is the majority of men admire and desire this and think its all real, and compare women to these results. Thanks for showing us we arent so imperfect.

[@Andypandieful]

You must hit up Meghan and Harry’s Christmas photo with two kids.

[@TedsHoldOver]

Photoshop is a godsend for self-hatred.

[@stellannie86]

I identify so hard with a stray hair 🥹 !

[@mauisue721]

"I feel for the door..." LOL

[@jeremyfielding2333]

I still haven't been able to work out what the Kardashians actually do.

[@crqdea6654]

THANK YOU

[@arlenefernandez7415]

Photoshop in the background like 👁️ 👁️. 😂

[@carolynbrophy4706]

Can you tag the light please? 🙏🏻

[@dtjcnyc3506]

Kloe's arm!!! 4:34

[@julierowe1086]

Thank u so much!

[@AngelaChambers-s7e]

What could the kardashians be editing out by the door?, their small children 😂

[@binaryalice]

baby goblin reminded me for some reason, did you get tears of the kingdom?? that and your vids are all im doing these days B)

[@binaryalice]

omg you're wearing a zelda shirt lmao

[@JessicaKobeissi]

YES!! i'm currently playing it and I'm in gerudo town :D

[@klarasmetana3136]

The porthole in the door in one of Kylies pictures, what's the bet the was a dog turd there😅

[@misoso11]

You should analyse kpop idols photos

[@JefriahA]

Thankyou for doing this video, sometimes I get really insecure with my face and body after seeing these pictures. Like damn how can I look like them, surgery? But even then, surgery can’t fix everything. It’s all photoshop. Thankyou ❤️

[@annas4191]

you are beautiful as AS YOU ARE

[@ShannonGarvey-o8c]

There is no way they are paying a professional! LMAO. Good photoshop can't be detected, & these are above & beyond obvious. For starters, Kylie's head is way too small for her body. Next, Khloe's arm is also stupidly out of proportion w/ her body...looks like a string bean arm. Regarding blurred lines that can happen w/ crappy quality cameras. My cell phone produces shots w/ blurred lines all the time.

[@sanja.s.]

I also noticed how much her teeth are white. Brighten, like eyeballs.

[@charles11115]

This makes me laugh!!!
