She’s in the last seven hours of her Kickstarter. She’s got a warchest to make and promote her CD, to film videos, to go on tour, to print her art book. And just importantly, she’s changed things: her phone is ringing off the hook with calls from The Economist, Spin, The Wall Street Journal,…

You know that moment when you’re reading a book and you just have to stop and bite your lip and squeal or sigh or close your eyes and wrinkle your nose and forehead and press the book against your heart and just like sit there and try to soak up the gorgeous literature via osmosis?
That’s my favorite part of reading.

This is actually weirdly fascinating. On the left, the version posted this morning. On the right the version taken from the photographer’s twitter. If you flip back and forth you can play spot the photoshop.
Neck thinned, jacket trimmed, tie fixed…
THEY MADE HIS HEAD THINNER
WHY
FDGGSD I’M LAUGHING AND I FEEL LIKE I SHOULDN’T BE
but that’s so ridiculous why does it matter
these pictures are exactly the same , the one on the right is just a lighter contrast.
fun fact : black makes you look slimmer
naw it really has been photoshopped
to see his neck and head be thinner, you need to click on them and look back and forth!
ok somebody make a gif
I really want to defend my trade right now… All things considered, they really haven’t done that much to the image. I mean, they’ve barely touched his face - if at all. The adjustment to his neck is perfectly fine; it does look a little odd in the original, and makes it seem like he’s holding his head awkwardly. If they’ve made his head thinner, it’s only because faces look rounder in photographs than they do in real life. And the adjustments to the clothing are minimal and pretty normal for this kind of high-end portraiture. I mean, these are the sort of adjustments that get made all the time, and ordinarily you wouldn’t notice because you’d never see the original. It’s perfectly fine to do this sort of photoshopping, because it’s about trimming those little awkward distractions like the bump of fabric in the sleeve of a jacket, or the gap between the tie knot and the collar of his shirt. All these little things take away from the focus of the image - the subject. So when you take them away, the viewer looks at what they’re supposed to be looking at, and not some strange crease that only appeared because of the pose the subject has struck.
Just on a side note, I absolutely do not endorse the kind of waistline-slimming, make-the-breasts-two-sizes-bigger photoshopping that goes on in the fashion industry.
