people literally posed for days for oil paintings. The only difference is that now we can make pictures of ourselves quicker and in bigger quantities, but trust me, if Luis XIV new about selfies, he would never do any actual ruling.

If women and girls would just stop with the selfies then they'd stop focusing on the minute "flaws". I don't think there has been a time in history when we've been this self-obsessed.

What photoshop? These images are very mildly processed. The reason you think this has massive amounts of photoshoping is that you clearly don't understand what's involved in making such images. The first and foremost, it's the quality of light. All the pro shots have low, late afternoon sun mostly backlighting the subject. The dreamy and creamy effect od background (as well as foreground) blur is achieved by the lens, (relatively) long lens with a big aperture to be more precise. With shots like these it's about physics and optics, which is the reason why small sensor cameras with really modest optics (phone cameras in this case) can't achieve anything that comes close to a fully capable large sensor camera. The rest is the photographers skill and experience, and no, even the best camera is not going to be helpful to someone without that skill. So instead of giving such judgments on topics on which you clearly aren't informed enough, I would suggest reading something about it first.
