I can’t believe it when I read about things like this. How can such a high profile magazine employing supposedly top professional photographers and imaging editors make mistakes like this? Do they not check their work?
The hand of Kate Moss’s daughter, Lila Grace, has been clearly tampered with, probably to make Kate look thinner, and it clearly shows.

I meticulously double check every image that goes out to customers for two reasons:
- When I first switched to digital, I made a pano composite for a wedding I shot and made a mistake with the alignments and retouching. You could see the errors at 100% where people were dismembered due to my poor editing. The bride and groom noticed which was highly embarrassing.
- Shooting stock photography for many years makes you check and double check images after any sort of “re-constructive” editing. I now do this for all images and not just stock photos.
Pfft! When will they learn? I hope one day to see airbrushing on models to make them look “perfect” banned on ads and any image in the public eye. I don’t want my daughter growing up thinking she has to look like this!

John Hooton PhotographyI think it has been done to make the hand look smaller and more elegant. I still think it looks overtly large for a child’s hand.
