One model, sixty years

According to the latter:

“Vogue Paris November 2008 with Eniko Mihalik by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin styled by Carine Roitfeld, make-up by Lisa Butler.”

My French isn’t that great, but I believe the first screenshot says that the photos are unretouched, it’s all done by makeup and lighting.

I was a little unclear whether this is an actual model or an amazing photoshop job. From the quality of the 10yr old picture, I'm assuming a photoshop job?

I like this photo series. She really had the skank thing going on at 30, though.

I added an additional screenshot which, if my translation is correct, says that the photos are unretouched. So it's all makeup, costume, and lighting.

It's not Photoshop, but makeup and lighting. Amazing!

bizarre but intriguing!

it's a fascinating study of how we imagine and contruct age! - mind if i re-post?

as eruv said, 20 does look 16 (and 30 a hard drinking 19).

and nice choice of having the "10 year old" be topless, french vogue!

I was thinking the same thing, but that picture was taken 50 years ago. Things were different back then. (And "topless" doesn't mean much in France, even today.)

No, it's the same person in the same year just changed with makeup and lighting. Google her name - Eniko Mihalik.

I can't really tell the difference between the 40 and 50 other than forehead lines. In the first photo, the camera is positioned below eye-level and the model is stretching her neck to reduce any wrinkles that would show up there anyway. In the 20 one, she is once again covering her neck which tends to show early signs of age. Her hands, which would also show early signs of age, are missing from the first photo and hidden in shadows in the second photo.

Is she supposed to literally be those ages, or is she supposed to represent those ages, with makeup and such? Because she doesn't really look that different from one to another to me. Her hands are smooth. She never does get the crease from nose to the corner of the mouth.

Luckily, I'm perfectly bilingual:

1 girl, 6 decades. The same girl, the same pear, the same horse. And carrying, by a modulation of subtitles, pigments and of attitudes. Eniko changes of age without rekeying and passes away naturally between 10 to 60 years. Just a minute coach, comment on Chachi's pear decade? Scientists use supervision to become experts on the aura of seduction, multiplying year after year.

Keep in mind, for each photo, hundreds if not thousands of photos were taken.

Then the one that makes the person look the most "target" is taken.

Even when not trying, most people look different ages even in a single set.

Take a digital camera, and take a photo of yourself, when your hair, look up, look down, etc. Watch as you change.
