Self-Image – Changing the Looking Glass The young girl sat on her bed and thought, “If I could just be taller, skinnier, if my hair was longer, my nose smaller, my legs slimmer, I know they would like me!” This discussion takes place with each girl or boy at different times in their lives.

The Changing Image of Women As I flick through the latest issue of 'Hello!' magazine, my mouth stands agape as I see page upon page filled with skimpily clad young women, many of them celebrities. My mouth continues to widen as I see that many of the celebs, not content with being featured once, appear repeatedly flashing slightly more flesh than they should be.

The idea of what a women’s body image should be has changed much throughout history. Our society places a high priority on beauty and body image. Just a century ago “Fat was seen as a silken layer that graced the frames of elegant ladies.” (Fallon et al., 1994,) So what has changed over the years that this idea of what a beautiful woman was is now seen as ugly and unworthy?

It is not overstating it to say that the advent of this new technology is changing the very nature of photography, as we have known it. (Bode and Wombell 1991) In the last decade computer technology has been introduced to photography yet again challenging the meaning of photography.
