Zvijezde protiv retuširanja: "Nitko ovako ne izgleda!"

U podužem postu koji je podijelila prošloga tjedna, Kerry Washington prozvala je časopis AdWeek.

1. Kerry Washington

"Gledajte, Photoshop mi nije nepoznanica. To nije neuobičajena pojava. Ipak, jučer sam se osjećala iscrpljeno. Jako je čudno gledati fotografiju sebe na kojoj izgledam toliko drukčije od osobe koju vidim u ogledalu. To je poprilično neugodan osjećaj."

So...You know me. I'm not one to be quiet about a magazine cover. I always celebrate it when a respected publication invites me to grace their pages. It's an honor. And a privilege. And ADWEEK is no exception. I love ADWEEK. It's a publication I appreciate. And learn from. I've long followed them on Twitter. And when they invited me to do a cover, I was excited and thrilled. And the truth is, I'm still excited. I'm proud of the article. And I like some of the inside images a great deal. But, I have to be honest...I was taken aback by the cover. Look, I'm no stranger to Photoshopping. It happens a lot. In a way, we have become a society of picture adjusters - who doesn't love a filter?!? And I don't always take these adjustments to task but I have had the opportunity to address the impact of my altered image in the past and I think it's a valuable conversation. Yesterday, however, I just felt weary. It felt strange to look at a picture of myself that is so different from what I look like when I look in the mirror. It's an unfortunate feeling. That being said. You all have been very kind and supportive. Also, as I've said, I'm very proud of the article. There are a few things we discussed in the interview that were left out. Things that are important to me (like: the importance of strong professional support and my awesome professional team) and I've been thinking about how to discuss those things with anyone who is interested, in an alternate forum. But until then...Grab this week's ADWEEK. Read it. I hope you enjoy it. And thank you for being patient with me while I figured out how to post this in a way that felt both celebratory and honest. XOXOXOX

Prije nešto više od godinu dana, Kerry je doživjela sličnu situaciju u kojoj joj je navodno znatno posvjetljena koža.

No Kerry svakako nije jedina žrtva digitalnih izmjena na nizu fotografija.

2. Zendaya

Kad bi radili popis najstrašnijih Photoshop izmjena, ova bi svakako bila visoko na ljestvici. Zendaya je na svom Instagram profilu objavila originalnu fotografiju izjavivši kako je oduvijek podupirala ljubav prema samom sebi i kako nije nimalo zadovoljna što su se njezine oblike potpuno izgubile na finalnoj verziji fotografije.

Had a new shoot come out today and was shocked when I found my 19 year old hips and torso quite manipulated. These are the things that make women self conscious, that create the unrealistic ideals of beauty that we have. Anyone who knows who I am knows I stand for honest and pure self love. So I took it upon myself to release the real pic (right side) and I love it

3. Lorde

Iako se ovog puta nije radilo o njezinom tijelu, ni Lorde nije šutjela objavivši na svom Twitter profilu kako je "OK imati mane".

apart from the fact that i'm pretty sure this magazine gave me a new nose (:|), i really like this photo pic.twitter.com/Ehk9QMYPjf

4. Kate Winslet

Kate, koja je već poznata po promicanju prirodne ljepote, je za BBC rekla da može garantirati kako su njezine noge na naslovnici smanjene bar za trećinu.

5. Ashley Benson

Nakon što je vidjela promo plakat za novu sezonu "Slatkih malih lažljivica", Ashley je na svom Instagram profilu rekla: "Nadam se da ovo nije promo poster. Ove su fotografije stare četiri godine i sve izgledamo smiješno. Previše Photoshopa. Svi imamo mane. Ovo nije privlačno."

Saw this floating around....hope it's not the poster. Our faces in this were from 4 years ago.....and we all look ridiculous. Way too much photo shop. We all have flaws. No one looks like this. It's not attractive

6. Troian Bellisario

Složivši se s reakcijom kolegice, Troian se tek zagrijavala te nekoliko mjeseci kasnije prozvala magazin GQ za ekstremno retuširanje kako nje, tako i njezinih kolegica iz serije.

So by now you have seen many a shot from #GQ and many people have said that we were photoshopped... OF COURSE WE WERE! that's a very specific type of photo shoot. And looking very blown out and perfected was obviously what they were looking for. Great. Cool. As long as we acknowledge how it was achieved so we know it's not real. Here's some behind the scenes of my body the way it is and was on the day. I'm not mad at how these pictures turned out, the girls and I had an absolute blast. More fun than we've had on a photoshoot in a while, and I think you can see that in our eyes and smiles. But it's the same everywhere. It's the same way on the posters of our show and even in women's magazines. This industry seems to invest more in perfection than in flaw. But flaw and individuality, to me, are what make a human being interesting, they make our stories worth telling. (Unfortunately the flaws don't usually sell products or magazines) I'm proud of my body and the way it looks because @themarkwildman kicks my butt in aerial. But my hips and thighs are a part of me (even though they magically weren't in some shots!) I get those things from my momma. And I'm happy To shake what my momma gave me.

7. Lady Gaga

Nakon što je pozirala za časopis Glamour i od istog primila nagradu za Ženu godine, Gaga je svoj govor iskoristila kako bi razgovarala upravo o retuširanju fotografija i konstantnom skrivanju stvarnog izgleda zvijezda na naslovnicama.

"Moja je koža izgledala previše savršeno, moja kosa previše mekano...ja ovako ne izgledam kad se ujutro probudim... Ono što želim vidjeti je promjena na naslovnicama. Kad se naslovnice promijene i kultura će se promijeniti."

8. Kim Kardashian

Iako nam prijateljstvo Kim i Photoshopa nije strano, slavna sestra Kardashian nije šutjela vidjevši kako njezine obline nisu u cjelosti prihvaćene - bar ako je pitati časopis Complex.

"Imam malo celulita, pa što? Koja cura s oblinama nema? Što mislite, koliko je ljudi žrtva Photoshopa? To se događa stalno! (...) Ponosna sam na svoje tijelo i svoje obline, a ovom fotografijom želim poručiti da to što sam na naslovnici časopisa ne znači da sam savršena."


Amen!
