Hand Selfies!
Well, seems this is a thing!
“Hands are one of the first places on the body to age, and apparently Instagram filters that smooth out our skin while simultaneously making the scenery look like a 1970s French film are just not cutting it. “Hand lifts” have been gaining in popularity of late, especially for brides-to-be. Yes, hand lifts. NYC dermatologist Dr. Ariel Ostad says the procedure is not new, but he estimates that he’s had a 40 percent increase since the rise of social media and selfies.”
Wait a minute - isn't this what Photoshop is for?!
I can understand that if presented with a beautiful engagement ring, a woman would want to show it off and place pictures on social media. Who wouldn't? We can always use more pictures of things of beauty.
The ring set from a recent wedding that I photographed.
The procedures for the "hand lifts" are costing anywhere from $1200 to $5000, depending on the amount of work and the skill of the surgeon.
I have a better idea . . .
For much, much less - oh, say, $100 - what if I shot it and "fixed" it in Photoshop? Seems to me, there are better ways to spend your money . . . especially if you are trying to stick to a wedding budget.
And no needles!
