Gj. Thanks for demonstrating this picture is bs.

Not same pose. Look at the different size gaps between elbows and body.

When they said the same pose, they just mean they are front facing, arms to the side, as opposed to different positions for each dress. It's pretty darn close. She had to change dresses between shots, so the poses aren't going to be perfectly identical, but they are close enough to make the point that a person looks different depending on the stripes.

Do you really think that extra half inch of daylight between her arm and body somehow faked the result?

The way to do this would be to edit the dress in Photoshop or similar. One picture, three designs and the model is the same in each.

Computer model with dress (e.g. Unreal Metahuman). Change the material but dimensions stay exactly equal.

Nope, I wouldn't fully believe it. Actual photos are much more convincing.

I don't trust any photo manipulation for any reason. I understand that it is often necessary for economic, artistic, or graphic design efficiency, but for things I have to trust, I want real photos.

Absolutely. When the post is about how things look different based on the patterns chosen, everything we're looking at has to be the same or we can't really compare.

This isn't a peer-reviewed drug study, it's just a demonstration. Things don't have to be absolutely perfect to demonstrate the basic concept that the orientation of the stripes makes a difference in perception.

If she was facing front on one pose, sideways for another, and facing backwards for another, I'd agree with you. But three front facing photos, in the same pose, shot from the same distance in the same light, is good enough to demonstrate the difference effectively. I would much rather have this display, over a faked display of the same photo, with the dress patterns applied with AI or something. Then I would doubt the result. But doing it this way convinces me.

If you are demonstrating an optical illusion then the width of the subject must be measurable equal.

I'm sold on the third one being best. Good enough for the Internet.

Also the i think the different collars matters. Low No collar, high black collar, high no collar.
