Dove Evolution Ad

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

A short while ago I gave a photography demonstration at West Middle School and I was reminded of the Dove Evolution ad that I had seen earlier on YouTube.

Here is the ad if you haven’t seen it:

I think the ad does a great job of revealing how deceptive a photograph can be.
It is probably equally important to note that although Dove seems to promote “natural beauty” the owners of Dove (Unilever) also own the company Axe – whose ads are often a complete contradiction to the Dove ads.
