What are Objective and Subjective Aesthetics?

Aesthetics comes from Greek and is perception through the senses. Subjective perception is an individual perspective with a myriad of influences stemming from emotional association due to visual experiences in earlier life and thousands of emotional attachments to visual experiences from media.

Television celebrity images have an enormous effect on people under 26 years old and a considerable less effect on those above 26 years old. When kids are in school, they seek to be like each other, which is lead by celebrity images. Celebrities have the opportunity to make emotional impressions in the viewer's mind associated with the fashion concept they are promoting. 

The problem with this fall in your eyes hair fashion or defy gravity hair fashion, is, they are not practical and require lots of unnatural looking gel and spray to maintain. Since I worked on network television actors and actresses when I had my Hollywood studio, I am reasonably certain the product companies pay the network / celebrities big bucks directly or through their manufacturer associations to wear such hair fashions to sell a lot of unnecessary products for high maintenance hair based on the requirements of the design the actor or actresses wear.  One of my network television star clients left a television show because I proved to her the hairstyle the director wanted her to keep made her look less attractive than my measured and diagnosed solution.  Paid advertising of products and services worked into television shows and movies is at an all time.  This is so you will not realize you are being slipped a somewhat subliminal advertisement.  The manufacturers think the younger crowd does not have enough life experience to spot the ruse.  Actually, it has worked quite well for a long time and probably will stay that way to the less aware young viewers they grow older they realize that we are all unique with different strengths and weaknesses in our appearance. As they mature they realize Fashion is for Kids and style is for adults. To understand the differences, please read Fashion is more for Kids and Style is more for Adults.

I have read that scientists have confirmed a popular theory that says if someone likes your appearance, they hear more of what you have to say, they understand you better and they trust you more. Imagine the far reaching effects on your social and business life.

I have also read that scientists theorize that all animals, including humans are programmed before birth to seek out the most “symmetric” partner because they are the “healthiest” for mating purposes.

When I read this theory, I did not bother to make a note of the sources because I did not think I would need to. I need help finding these sources again. If anyone out there can help me find this information, you will be given credit here.

There are two co-existing types of symmetry. One type is simple symmetry (something divided into equal parts). The other co-existing type of symmetry is relational asymmetry. Relational asymmetry is one thing divided into two “unequal” parts that have a constant percentage relationship between the parts. This percentage relationship ratio is un-common to any other ratio. Obviously, I am not talking about 1/3 and 2/3 because they are divided into thirds, which are equal parts. Some researchers think the subconscious mind perceives this co-existing symmetry without conscious awareness. The more perfect this co-existing symmetry occurs naturally, the more we are drawn to it. Henceforth, I will refer to this co-existing symmetry as “co-symmetry”.

The word glamour is objectively (not subjectively) defined as “to deceive the eye in an appreciated way. The more this co-symmetry is artificially brought about with make up application, hair design, wardrobe or cosmetic surgery the more attractive a person becomes. Style is individual expression as apposed to Fashion, which is group expression. Fashion, many times interferes with the perception of your co-symmetry. That is why I say fashion is for kids and style is for adults.

Objective & Not Subjective Definitions

Logically the greatest return on invested time spent on making yourself as attractive as possible would be choosing the most perfect co-symmetry. I am here to help you with that challenge.

For a much more detailed explanation about this co-symmetry you will have to choose one of the following options. First, you could choose to purchase my book soon to be published. I am taking advanced orders for my book at a pre-publish discount after 1-01-06. I am glad to put you on the waiting list so that your order will be processed in the order in which it was received. No money accepted or orders processed until after 1-01-06.

The second way to learn more about this co-symmetry is available right away. That would be to have me personally measure your face, neck and shoulder features from your photographs (see below for photo requirements). Then, I will analyze and report your aspect ratios and compare your features to average and compare them to perfect. There is an average and there is a perfect and they are not the same.

Personal Feature Measurement and detailed Analysis from Your Photograph!

Just one of the thousands of experiments scientists used to determine this natural selection process in mammals was a bird experiment in England. They hatched a group of birds. Then they put tags on both legs of the much larger majority of the birds. On the much smaller minority of birds they only tagged one leg. As it turned out, none of the doubled tagged birds would mate with the single tagged birds because they were asymmetric.

 


I am here to help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and help you achieve natural looking glamour much better than by yourself in front of the camera and away from the camera. Lastly giving you high quality photos you can be proud of any where in the world.
