Backstage photoshop involved in Kim Kardashian’s viral butt image?
Mumbai: Her butt made headlines and literally ‘broke’ the Internet. But a closer look at that lean waist and booty reveals a tad too much. Recent pictures doing the rounds on Twitter on Kim’s ‘real’ butt get us thinking.
As shown in the Paper Magazine, the excess of baby oil and the arch definitely enhance her large butt, but the alleged ‘real’ picture that has surfaced tells a different story. As per many, the image has been photoshopped ‘heavily’ to give her a perfect waist and a tight bottom.
While her backside appears even larger than usual, the real issue seems to be her waistline in the photo, which appears unnaturally narrow, which is almost certainly the result of the digital enhancement techniques.
Another issue that has triggered comments is that many believe that Kardashian has set a bad example for women and teens who struggle with body issues.
The acclaimed French photographer, Jean-Paul Goude, who was the man behind the photo shoot, has a different story to tell. Photoshop and other technical methods were clearly used to create the image of champagne flying through the air, but he has mentioned that ‘very little’ of Kim's body was altered.
Here is what the twitteratis have to say about the ‘unreal’ image of the actress:
That Kim Kardashian image was done by a photographer who was manipulating images in an actual photo shop before Adobe existed
