Very odd, but I like it. It seems quite new. Who knows if this belongs in the RM department?

I like this too, even though I think the way it's been photoshopped is quite ridiculous.

The photo was taken for the June 2016 centenary issue of Vogue Magazine UK.

The article was titled "The Creative Review" - Presenting a cavalcade of faces that capture the spirit of the Vogue Century - from the magazine's longest serving contributor to the vanguard of the future.

Amongst the other people featured are David Bailey, Kate Moss, Charlotte Rampling, Tilda Swinton, Peter Blake and David Hockney. Also Jerry Hall with her daughter Georgia May Jagger recreating one of the photographs that brought her to the attention of Bryan Ferry in 1975.

The page with details from the magazine below.

Thanks. At least it wasn`t photoshopped. Not a bad choice of reference by Ferry.

Not photoshopped? :lol: Sorry, he is quite slim, but his waist and his thigh in this photo are definitely photoshopped. This is completely exaggerated. Reminds me of this:

It looks like it has been taken from above or at a very odd angle to me.

Yes, a camera can "lie". If you use a very wide lens and go close to the motive, other parts of that photo can be quite distorted. Just think of how crazy results you can achieve by a fisheye lens.

Yes, but the wide-angle lens and the perspective alone do not explain this distortion. This is just another example of how the fashion industry manipulates photos.
