Keira Knightley defends shoot and slams Photoshop in Interview magazine. Knightley appears on the cover of Interview magazine’s September issue, and is featured inside in a black and white photo spread shot by Patrick Demarchelier.
In most of the photos, Knightley looks amazing in black designer gowns, but in one she is topless. Knightley appears with no top on, wearing a pair of black trousers and lace gloves.
Knightley explained that the half-naked shot in Interview is her way to protest the usage of Photoshop in the movie and fashion industries.
Knightley who had her breasts Photoshopped on the poster of King Arthur, said:
“I’ve had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it’s paparazzi photographers or for film posters.That [shoot] was one of the ones where I said, ‘Okay, I’m fine doing the topless shot so long as you don’t make them any bigger or retouch.'”
Knightley decided to protest Photoshop editing, so women can understand that you can be beautiful at any size:
“It does feel important to say it really doesn’t matter what shape you are.I think women’s bodies are a battleground and photography is partly to blame. Our society is so photographic now, it becomes more difficult to see all of those different varieties of shape.”
Knightley defends shoot as she starts revealing more of her rebellious side. Miss Knightley recently spoke about being banned from having a prom picture because she was escorted to the event by her best friend, Emily.
The British star explained that they were not appropriately dressed for the soirée. The talented actress explained:
“Everybody else was completely dressed up, obviously, in that kind of finery, the teachers took us aside and said we were never going to come to anything if [they] didn’t know how to dress appropriately for events like that.”
Knightley went on to share that they were not allowed to have their photo taken, she stated:
“Our photograph…wasn’t allowed — you know when you get up and, I don’t know if this is in America, but you collect all the photographs of prom and you buy whatever ones you want. Ours wasn’t allowed to be displayed on that because it wasn’t appropriate.”
While many are applauding Knightley’s move, others are a bit skeptical. Some people say, she is doing it in order to get headlines for her movie, The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch that will come out on November 28.
