I am sure you guys remember Ala’s recent Modblog post, it was definitely one of the cooler and more controversial post I have had the honor or being able to post. Well in case anyone was wondering what Ala may have looked like sans modification a friend of hers has done some amazing photo editing to show just that as a school project.
Thanks again to Roo, aka “that creep guy” (according to one Modblog commenter) that has been stuck as the main image on BME’s main page during the transition to the new site lay out. After being a Modblog author for quite a while himself, he still takes the time to submit images and stories for me to post, and I truly appreciate it.

The piercings and tattoo are lovely, but the hair is really good in the PS pic!

I think with or without mods Ala is beautiful =)
I also believe there are a number of reasons people may prefer the second image – and it’s entirely to do with the changes made other than the removal of the mods and new hairstyle.
The airbrushing effect has lessened or gotten rid of some of the shadows and natural lines of her face and neck, giving a more even and flawless skintone. This automatically tunes into our media-trained perception of youthful glowing beauty.
Where in the first her mouth looks slightly downturned, the edits in the photoshop version have changed the shadow and evened out some of the natural lines – giving a more upturned effect. A hint of a smile in the muscles of the face can make a world of difference to a person’s perception of a photograph ^^
Also if you look at her eyes in the first there is more natural shadow under them, whereas it has been removed from the second – waking her eyes up a little and again a small touch younger.
The veil (which I like actually XD Though I’m the only one?!) causes some shadow on the brow bone which helps make the eyes seem slightly smaller, whereas again in the photoshop image the brow bones are much lighter. Also, one dot on the veil gives the illusion of her right brow being extended down towards her nose, again closing off the eye and giving an impression of frowning.
The left of her face has been slimmed down, the jawline extended a little on the right – the curve of her jaw is much closer to her ear in the second image. Her skin seems much lighter in the second than the first. Again tuning into our media-trained percetions, her hair doesn’t look as healthy in the first as the second – which the way it falls in the original is natural for the style, we’re all someone keyed into the fuller, shinier look that shampoo adverts scream at us every time we turn on the TV.
So… I suppose what I’m trying to say is that much more than the mods being removed has been done to make the second image more appealing to our subconcious mind and we’re all falling for it 😉

I think she’s beautiful regardless, and the veil isn’t technically part of her but the rest of her in the original is fine by me–though it is interesting to see what impact subtle changes can have through altering a photo

Too many random mods just ruin your face and this is a clear example.

I don’t understand all these comments about how she looks better, as the person above me states, “all cleaned up”. Where exactly do you people think you are? This is modblog. If you don’t like chicks with modifications, why are you here?
That said, I like the before picture better myself, but maybe I’m biased considering I have quite a few facial piercings myself, or maybe it’s just because she’s very attractive.

Lamb….I’ve been a professional piercer for over 12 years, and i like girls with modifications too. When i look at those two pictures, the one on the right is much more attractive to me, and there’s nothing wrong with that. In my opinion, having modifications doesn’t make you hotter. Some peoples modifications improver their external image, and some don’t…..(imo)
