The photos, tv shows, and movies manipulate things. Sometimes they directly edit the images. Other times the look is achieved by dehydration. If you can see the muscle fibers the person is severely dehydrated. Its not unknown for body builders to pass out during competitions because of this. They severely dehydrate themselves to achieve the look.
