This teaches women that they need to constantly dote on the man, whether he pays attention or not. The companies designing these ads are using women as a tool in order to empower the advertisement to engage the consumer’s attention and to sell more products.

Fashion Photography has highlighted many views such as sexuality, ethnicity and the way the body has been portrayed. Photography has developed and become more sophisticated over the years as early designs focused on the designer’s creation of clothes, however now, a deeper level of image is created in modern photography. Conceptual meanings and ideologies give the image weight and power rather than being ‘just’ a photograph. Along with cultures, social issues and the need for a high level of conceptualism within images, photographers have turned to other areas of design and culture to create unique and original designs. This essay is going to look at four major areas that have not just directly affected the fashion photography world and molded it to what it is today, but what is shaping and pushing photography forward.

Nancy says, “Girls are being bombarded with the message that they need to be super-skinny to be sexy.” (Hellmich 706) I believe that is very true when she says that but what young girls don’t realize is that you could be beautiful and sexy with any body type that you might have.
By offering low prices and giving people access to more high end goods, the department store helped blur the lines of class that previously divided society. The status of women was also changing at this time due in part to the rise of the department store. The department store gave women a place that was socially acceptable to visit and it was a significant job provider to a growing female workforce.

These people are excessively trying to imitate or follow the latest style and fashion models, and these immoderate behaviors causes troubles among fashion people. These adverse effects can cause people to gain eating disorders, ignore an uncomfortableness of fashion style, and ignore the people who care less or not much about their fashion style. When people want to follow the latest fashion, and to assimilate the style, they believe that they should be like fashion models on the runway. These fashion models are tall and very skinny, and being like that is their job. The problem is that many other people are trying so hard to be like them; “according to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, nearly 70 percent of girls in grades five through 12 said magazine images
