Facebook vs Cosmo

Probably the first place I saw photographic portraits today was Facebook. You log on to that one website and instantly hundreds of profile pictures fill your screen. Then I began to notice other photographs around me, like the pictures of female models in my Cosmo. I noticed a huge difference between these two placings of photos. One of the major ones, most Facebook profile pictures are more natural. You see smiles of normal teenagers with zits! Believe it or not. In my Cosmo you see flawless models being photographed from professional angles, catching only their "good side." The intent of Facebook is to give you a sense of someone's personality through their profile picture. In Cosmo, most of the time the producers are trying to sell something. Natural is more interesting if you ask me, but again that is only my opinion.
