Kim Kardashian received a generous Photoshop treatment in the new issue of Complex magazine, as would Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie and all celebrities from the A to the Z lists.

So I guess Kim Kardashian and those celebrities won’t be calling photographer Hedi Slimane any time soon. The man is famous for taking [natural photos with minimal makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/authentic-skincare-campaign), if any. Slimane’s realistic work is featured in the new Spring/Summer 2009 issue of [Vogue Hommes International](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore-magazine) with an editorial entitled, ‘Super - Models.’

The editorial features male super models from the 1990s with [no photoshop and no makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ordinary-x-uncommon). The featured models are Mark Vanderloo, Werner Schreyer, Andree Van Noord, Larry Scott, and Greg Hansen.

In fact, it has become more interesting and peculiar news when a celebrity does not get photoshopped. Brad Pitt generated huge buzz recently by boldly going natural on the cover of W Magazine. See that story alongside Madonna's leaked outtakes sand photoshop, and another Hedi Slimane natural photography editorial in the related section below.
