Backtalk: Student school portraits don’t need filters

Todd L. Pittinsky

Technology and Society

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate

Abstract

Retouching of school photos is going beyond simply removing glare from students’ glasses to include teeth whitening, removing freckles, and other adjustments to students’ appearance. Todd Pittinsky argues that schools should not include these kinds of services as part of their photography options because they send a message to students that their actual appearance is not acceptable.
