To a larger extent, I also use them as appropriate vehicles to convey a certain implicit statement. I remember I used the image of a model once to show the pervasiveness of advertising and titled it "Buy Me, Bring Me, Take Me". Yes, it was a model in a very classic fashion pose, but it did help get my message across. Yes, I do agree that some of these models owe some of their physical characterizes to cosmetics and surgery and in doing that the surgeon or the make up artist may be destroying some of their ‘natural’ characterizes and thus may labeled Philistines – if that is what you wanted to imply. But I do not necessarily become ‘Philistinic’ when I use a digitally enhanced photograph of the above model to convey a message (or use the same to create a painting that can titillate my viewers senses).

I should have been more specific: several of the paintings that I have seen at your site are of models and you comment on their beauty and their form. Certainly much of what we see is the result of cosmetics and even surgery? Sunil.

Richard, The images are very well taken especially given the background writing that you have used to introduce us to the subject. I liked your quote when you say: "Restorers, renovators, developers, cosmetic surgeons and cosmeticians are Philistines"... HDR photography also aims to produce ‘hyper real’ images…
