Photoshop of Horrors: Vogue Mag Forgets Body Parts, Do You Care?

Happy Friday. Over at Vogue magazine, it seems the retouching crew was a little remiss with Mario Testino’s shot of Kate Moss and her daughter Lila –seems they…er…left off a few of her daughters fingers. Or worse, that her daughters fingers actually fused into her mom’s back.

So, we all know Photoshop happens. They’re in there taking out zits and making people skinnier than they really are, and taking out wrinkles and on and on. Yes, yes, we all “know” this. But is “oops, I just left off a few body parts” excusable? I don’t know where I stand on this. It’s a beautiful shot, but the sophomoric blunder isn’t lost on me.

Do YOU even care, or is it just expected that there will be some mistakes and faux pas along the way, so we should just get on with it anyway….?

    I recently did a group shot of over 150 people for a camp I go to. I do this for every camp session, which adds to about 7 or 8 every summer. I obviously can’t get everyone to smile and not blink in one shot so I take several on a tripod and layer them to get everyone looking. Well on the last one of the year I had two shots, one where a mother was holding her baby as it was turned around, and another where the little guy was looking at me. I guess I wasn’t paying enough attention and accidently gave the kid 3 legs. But this is a shot 150+ people in by an semi-amatuer photographer in rural indiana. Only the people at this camp will see the picture. No one looked at it before it was printed except me and the guy at the print shop. This vogue image was probably looked at my a dozen editors in preperation for a world-wide distributed magazine. Shouldn’t they be paying a little more attention?

    I once heard from a famous photographer that you should picture what you see. How could he miss the fingers?

    Well, mistakes happen all the time… however, I sure that images went trough more than a couple approvals before printing and no one saw it … . I do not think that any one would do that on purpose or it shows lack of respect , it is just a mistake …
