The copy on the page itself seems to disagree with you
> Portraits on Pixel represent the nuances of different skin tones for *all people* beautifully and authentically.
(Emphasis mine)
There does seem to be a discrepancy between the copy saying "all people" and the photos above that paragraph only including individuals with darker skin.
Edit: I'm acknowledging that there are photos of white males elsewhere on the page, but I think my comment's parent is specifically talking about that one section?
- 28921247 5y agoUnfortunately, since there are more than 7B people alive on earth and several more billion people who are dead, it would be quite difficult to feature literally all people in the copy. So they, like absolutely every product marketing copy that has ever featured people in the history of everything, included the people for which the actual product featured is targeting. Aside from that, you can also infer from the negative view that the copy is implying that other phones do not represent the nuances of all people, which is the reason that they said it to begin with. But you knew that already, didn’t you?
- kaba0 5y agoMaybe because it already took great photos of white people?
- coryfklein 5y agoYeah this is probably the best explanation. Elsewhere on the page you can see examples of photos of lighter skin-toned individuals, and when viewed holistically – both photos and copy – this particular section is actually trying to communicate that the camera can capture well _darker_ skin tones. But I guess it's rude to specifically say it that way, and more "inclusive" to simply say "all people".
