As Nature Intended

Introduction

Sorry to disappoint you folks. There are no photographs of male or female models, no ravenous wild animals, in fact, no bizarre or salacious images of any kind on this and the subsequent Nature page. You will simply find a set of photographs that can be used as a basis for comparing the 'unnatural imagery of advertising' with relatively natural photographs of stunning scenery and objects.

The differences between natural photography or artistic representation and advertising imagery do occur for artistic purposes. Any differences are expected to make the ad more persuasive and influential. The changes can be simply artistic but they can also occur because the changes permit the incorporation of semi-subliminal words or images. These would also appear to make ads more persuasive or at least commercially effective. When artistic changes are the basis of semi-subliminal content the these ads are surely unethical.

As good quality photographs are generally large and require a considerable amount of time to download the remainder of the page contains only thumbnail illustrations. You can decide whether you wish to look at the full size images. However, note that you can save your time and cut your phone bill by simply finding a copy of any good quality magazine such as the Geographic Magazine. Or making use of the copyright free images available with various graphics programmes. However, remember to make use of photographs, not the ads, in any comparison. Even the Geographic Magazine has regularly carried ads with semi-subliminal artwork embedded in them.

A typical example of a natural image is shown below. Ads would alter the texture, introduce new features and so on. Although, overall you would still have the impression of a setting sun illuminating a mountain, the subsidiary elements would not be natural and would be calculated to persuade and influence you. The process would occur without any conscious attention on your part.   See the various introductory pages for further explanation of preconscious phenomenon.
