    ugh. I can’t stand whatever company takes photos of this girl. I’ve seen her on many different sites, and they always make her look like this! Its horrible! I’m starting to wonder if maybe her head actually is that big…

    I believe what Shakespeare actually said was, “Alas, to thine own torso, shall thine cranium not outsize.”

      I think that’s Yoda, not Shakespeare. :-P

    but the photo was taken with a wide angle lens… so… it´s not a fail…

      This is NOT the effect of a wide-angle lens. If it were, there would be a “natural” progression in size from legs to torso to hands to head.

      In this case, all the body up to the shoulders looks in proportion (even the right hand), with only a giant head to screw things up. The head by itself does look like the result of a wide-angle lens (a piss-poor practice when shooting portraits), but it was probably pasted over the body from another picture.

        Also, the butt seems to simply float over whatever furniture is under it. The body was probable pasted into a picture of the room, as well.

          I don’t think so. She is sitting on a slightly reflective surface, and you can see the reflections of her leg and shorts very faintly. I doubt they would go to that length if they just pasted her in from some other photo.

          But agree this is not just a wide-angle for the reasons you mention.

            I guess a sarcasm alert may have helped you two.

    Genuine question here… Would there be some experienced photographer around here would could tell us if this kind of effect could be done “in camera”, maybe using a combination of wide-angle and tilt and shift optics? Thanks in advance.

    • OurJames

      But why would anyone want to?

      • ixache

        Ah, the inscrutable minds of art directors… All I know is that if it is possible, someone will deem it the new “it”.

    She’s cute and her featured head is at the top, so ‘cute top’ is not false advertising.
