So the incentives are there to present the image you want to project to attract customers.
If i were to do the dining hall ads I'd make everybody super fat. Look how delicious our food is!
To wit: even the original photo was probably staged…
Why?
If you were being sarcastic, it was not clear.
I have done similar things and it sometimes changes the apperance of the people in the image. They might have also wanted to change the pullover of the guy wearing GAP.
And honestly targetgroup research should have happened before the photograph was taken. Not in post... but hey that was the big promise of genrative models right? The thing is, the marketing department could have posed in their office holding staplers and notepads and then asked the model to recreate the image as well. to even save the cost for the photographer...
