Take note, Self Magazine.
Renowned fashion photog Peter Lindbergh is sick of airbrushing and the way it makes women in magazines look like "objects from Mars," as he put it. He feels "that for years now it has taken a much too big part in how women are being visually defined today. Heartless retouching should not be the chosen tool to represent women in the beginning of this century."
So, practicing what he preaches, Lindbergh photographed a slew of supermodels, including Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, Helena Christensen, and Amber Valetta, without makeup or excessive retouching (think flyaway hair, a blemish, or a wrinkle in clothing) for the September issue of Harper's Bazaar.
As it should be!
Unless the subject of the photo is Perez. Then we need A LOT of Photoshopping!!!
