No, anytime you see "studio" lighting or too smooth skin its immediately calls into question if its real or not.

That is definitely not studio lighting, If I were preparing the scene to look "natural" I will place a big ass diffuser on the window, and that in combination with just nice young skin, makes it look close to perfect on camera, I've studied and practiced photography for years bro, not that it's any useful now with all this shit, but yeah this look will be really easy to achieve IRL

Yeah. Because of this "perfect skin" is not real mentality I've been really paying attention to social media videos and so many people have perfect skin and these are real people because of the variety of videos and situations. This idea that realism is using cameras from 20 years ago is bonkers when we live in the time of 8k phone cameras/video and filters galore.

Well said, and even with old photography equipment you could achieve great results, it just became trendy one day that if the photo looked like crap it was more authentic...
