Before/After Shots: Seduced By Illusion


Recommended Posts

In all those types of faked transformations it is the before photo that is "fake", not the after.  Keep that in mind.

 

But there are some really, really, really dramatic legit transformations out there, though they almost never are over a short time period.

 

 

Absolutely, which I think is the author's main warning.

you get this sort of thing with all products, not just fitness.  such as "this conditioner makes your hair 5x stronger!*" and the fine print * is "vs unconditioned hair." well duh - a 99 cent conditioner will make your hair stronger than unconditioned hair.  or the before/after makeup pics where she's completely makeup-less with messy hair in the first picture, and to show you how well their base foundation works, you get an after photo with full HEAD done - eyes, lips, great hair, and a big happy smile. it's marketing. not saying it's right, but if they are selling you something, look at their photos and testimonials with a super skeptical eye.

Agreed. just look at the photos in Waldo's sig. that's a pretty dramatic transformation right there.
