One photography company is facing major backlash after it offered children as young as 11 years old the chance to have their school pictures airbrushed to make them 'picture perfect'.

 

Cardwell & Simons work with over 700 British schools offer parents and students to opportunity to airbrush certain aspects of their photographs for an added fee.

 

 

They ask customers "to circle the area(s) on the proof image and include a note in with your order detailing your requirements".

 

This added service has caused major debate among parents with some believing is good to have the option while others saying it could lead to major mental health issues later in life.

 

 

Defending the service, company director Linda Simons told the Daily Mail:

 

"We would only consider doctoring a temporary mark on the face and would never change the shape of a child's face.

 

"Most of the requests we get are to do with clothing, like a strain on the child's top or with hair being untidy or windswept".

 

We want to know what you think.
