Zoo: A Shadow Of A Doubt

typical for Magazines like Zoo...
Yeah her shadow was eating more than her,
I would also do her shadow.
Is that not the shadow of her elbow? Still funny though.
Oh my!!
A friend of mine who immediately went to see if there were any other interesting gaffes in that series reports that photo #2 is evern more unnerving.
I call you on this one Photoshop Disasters… If you watch the video of the shoot, you can clearly see shadows like this being cast as Imogen wiggles about. It's just the odd angles at which she's lit – not a retouching gaff at all, IMO.
I've, er, watched the video twice. Just to be sure.
Okay. Watched it a third time. *blushes* Maybe she is a little curvier in some poses, but not all the time.
If you look at her left shoulder (our right), you can see that her shoulder and the shadow don't match, either. The shadow-shoulder is higher, like she's lifting her shoulder, but the actual shoulder is lower and more rounded.
Er, if you watch the video, you can clearly see the bulges they've removed. I still would though.
"Is that not the shadow of her elbow? Still funny though." - emily
You are joking right?
What they created in photoshop did not naturally cast that shadow.
HA HA,didn't recognise her as that Welsh girl from Big Brother UK . check out the video at Zoo,those knickers are made of pretty strong stuff holding all that in.shocking lighting by the way .
It´s definitely retouched and if they hadn´t forgotten that shadow it would have been a good job...
I also watched the video (for research purposes only, of course!) and you can clearly see that those tight knickers do dig a bit into her hips.
She is a babe though, and not fat at all imo.
AND she's got a belly button, hard to find these days.
then you have missed this:
http://www.zootoday.com/girls/archive/2008/02/01/50-best-british-boobs.htm?slideshow=true&slideImage=5
After watching the video, you can clearly see that the photos are fixed.

wow!
holy crap, that is magnificent.
BTW, how come the shadow is higher than her when her body is clearly lit from above (see nose shadow)?
neolith: two different lights? one below and one above.
Have you considered, judging by the light source, that they haven't touched her hips?
They've just edited out a pinkie finger the SIZE OF A PRUSSIAN SALAMI!
Here's a (safe) screenshot from the video to confirm the chop.

Also what IS up with that lighting scheme? Plays wierd games with your head, ever pre-photoshop it isn't a particularly flattering shadow
That shadow just seems weird to me, like it was placed. I didnt watch the video, but I wonder if the shadow was retouched more than the girl, maybe not so much a photoshop disaster, but a photoshop prank.
The hip shadows on both sides have a little too perfect gradients.
could be wrong.
yeah, look at pic 2 of 7 on there, her shoulder shadows and the weird little things they did to try to make shadows of the flips in her hair.
Another picture for breast implants disasters!
hahahahahaha
why on earth are you all looking at the shadows anyhow.....!!!???
So. Fake.
Oh my gosh, that is so freaking amazing.
Do you people even understand how rasterized images work? If they had edited her body (which would be IN THE WAY of her shadow) there's no way her shadow would 'stay in place.' This is obviously (for whatever reason) intentional.
Even in the other photos it's obvious that these 'shadows' were created after the fact.
That's not a disaster. My girlfriend's sister's shadow does the same thing.
"Even in the other photos it's obvious that these 'shadows' were created after the fact."
Nope. I've watched the video and that's where the shadows are, and how they look. In the video you can clearly see that her hips are considerably larger than in this new shopped version; they slimmed them quite a bit. Her bikini bottom cuts pretty deeply into her flesh, leaving a "ballooning" effect on top and bottom, that is shopped out. Sorry, even an amateur knows beyond a shadow of a doubt what happened here.
SimulatedPerson has it right, pic 6 of 50 in the "50 Best British Boobs! gallery takes the cake. Almost as bad as that phantom hand a few days back.
http://www.zootoday.com/girls/archive/2008/02/01/50-best-british-boobs.htm?slideshow=true&slideImage=5
Shadow pies!!!!!
The disaster is the fact that they edited a good portion of the woman off and did not edit the shadow of her true shape. (how is that not obvious?)
Intentional? It could be if the artist either did not like the model or the fact they gave her an instant diet exercise program. And they decided to get some revenge by leaving her pre-photoshop-diet shadow in. Which would still be a disaster.
Seriously? intentional? I want you to slowly step away from the photo-editing software and don't make any sudden moves towards the keyboard.
I do however appreciate how humorous these posts are and the original disaster!
Yup - that pic 6 of 50 is WAAAYYY worse. That one belongs on this blog. Her arm is straight up missing!
http://www.zootoday.com/girls/archive/2008/02/01/50-best-british-boobs.htm?slideshow=true&slideImage=5
Yeah that pic is awesomely bad. No arm lol.
Actually, on photo 2 of 7 her hips are as wide as her shoulders... On this pic (7 of 7), they're substantially thinner. Either she can fold her pelvis, or she's been given a squeeze ;)
britian top 50 plain looking white women with implants. mmm... mmm... freshen ya drink guvna!
pic 23 is also very strange. this set is a goldmine for photoshop disasters.
Check out her right shoulder. The line between torso and arm goes all the way up.
Judging from the video, she's got a bit of extra 'meat' to her, but it's from unpleasant. It's a shame they feel it necessary to remove these bits... it's just like Dove's 'real beauty' video; proves just how much people lust after a false reality.
Oh God! This is hilarious! XD
Does my shadow look big in this?
Shadow Pies. LMAO!!!
This actually made me 'lol' ..oh dear!
Picture 4 of the Best British Boobs scares me. More even than the missing arm. That woman is not human, I tell you - not human at all.
And it is very sad reading the comments on the Zoo site. It must lower ones IQ looking at nekkid pictures. By gazillions of points!
This is another pic of her (kind of NSFW): http://www.zootoday.com/pub/21publish/g/girls/imogen_thomas_02.jpg
Look at the shadow(s) of her right sided hip... same here!
MwahaHAHA! Just discovered this blog. So funny. I'm going to spam everyone (the ones who won't mind, i.e. males) with that pic.
yeah, I don't think they edited the chick, I think they edited the shadow.. it looks way too fake.
More like a "Photoshoped photoshop disaster"
Fake shadow, but believable.
Yea. definitely photoshopped some cinnamon rolls out of that one. Gotta remember to get the shadow too... i don't even think that's the real shadow. it doesn't seem soft enough.
No it's not the shadow from her elbow. The girl has some pounds on her. Put her in string underwear like that and you're bound to have belly cleavage. You can see it in Photo 2, where she's wearing the wider strap underwear. She's got some extra weight on that butt. strait up.
Check out the shadow of her shoulder, it's going in a different direction!
I notice that Zoo has taken the photo off their slideshow now... It's also their number one most viewed article!
Here's the correct link to the screencap from the video incorrectly posted above: http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/danny_sm/zoo.jpg
why would the shadow stay there... was it multi-layered or something... or did they add the shadow in to make it look artsy fartsy... this picture really confuses me...
That's fantastic!
http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m107/lalalalurve/Sandy/DELETE.jpg
^ now that's a photoshop disaster.

lalalalurve/Sandy/DELETE.jpg
the links messed up...
http://www.zootoday.com/girls/archive/2008/02/01/50-b
I'm surprised they didn't touch this one
Oh my Goddess! D:
This is by far my favourite up to date! *shakes her 'fat', hot cocoa in the air* Cheers!
Well, I walk around posed like that all the time and my shadow looks nothing like that one! ;)
http://www.zootoday.com/girls/archive/2008/06/06/imogen-s-new-boobs.htm?slideshow=true&slideImage=1
and one more, but now the right side it’s fine, but the left?... ups!!
(sorry for my bad english)
How about this girl's thigh? wth?
http://www.zootoday.com/girls/archive/2008/06/12/50-lingerie-lovelies.htm?slideshow=true&slideImage=27
i don't think its a shadow of her elbow. i think its just a paint. right?
Hey, how does she get that black oblong to stay there?
Dear Zoo,
If you intend to have someone retouch all the photos on your website, ensure that the photographer or videographer moves the model FORWARD from the backdrop. This will eliminate all those pesky shadows and you won't have to worry about them not matching the shape of the model's body.
This is basic studio photography stuff that even the people you hire to butcher the appearance of beautiful women ought to be aware of.
Best of luck with your future endeavours.
haha the actual picture on the site where it originally came came was removed :)
lol hahahah, i laughed for like a whole mintue when i saw that.
the photo on the site is removed
too bad, but the second picture looks also odd
She really isn't that fat. Look up the site and watch her video. she doesn't look fatter in the vid than on that picture.
Who said she was fat? She most certainly has a lot more flesh (that was bitten into a lot more deeply by the bikini bottom) than in the OP picture, though. There was serious balloonage above and below the bikini strap on both sides in the video, in every pose - the shadow is accurate and they removed all the ballooning. That doesn't make her fat, it makes the picture badly shopped - they should have adjusted the shadows.
thats good
Really bad disaster, but I'm more dismayed about the fact that they felt they needed to photoshop her thin in the first place, and all the jokes about her shadow.
Am I the only one who thinks that everything else being equal a girl with a little bit of pudge (like the amount in her shadow) is actually more attractive than one that's totally slim and "athletic" looking?
They have changed the shadow on the right now but you can still see the left hand fatty shadow!!! hahahahaha
thanks
This made me feel a lot better about not going on one of those "summer diet" things i keep reading about.
I looked today and it seems they've removed that particular shot. However, they've left one as bad, if not worse:
(Safe for work)
http://i27.tinypic.com/jqjkef.jpg
The photo is back, have a scroll through. There has been an attempt to make it better but it's even worse!
Sorry different pic but there is a bad bit of shadow work I rekon
LOLOLOL
That's horrible. If I had that shadow, I'd be making my shadow eat air pies for a few months.
They should simply bite the bullet and take down that pic. It's better than having the poor YL become a laughing stock.
Gack. I looked again. I'd be really embarrassed to post that picture. I know there's only so much you can do, but come one. That's one poor photo fix. They should have asked someone on FARK.COM for expert advice.
I would be really annoyed that they had done that to me. If they wanted her in their mag they should have been happy with her as she was.
anyone did that to a pic of me and i'd be after em to give em a slap for being so rude
As you say. That is fairly insulting. After all, if all they want is pretty face, they had that without the botched editing. Perhaps providing her with an outfit in her own size would have helped, too.
She may be a couple sizes large, but if she's happy, so am I.
here is the original picture still hosted on zoo,
http://www.zootoday.com/pub/21publish/g/girls/imogen_thomas_07.jpg
!!!!WTF¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
OMG!!! Seriously??! that's just totally mind boggling!!
Shallow Hal all the way
haha! Classic
http://www.zootoday.com/pub/21publish/g/girls/sophie_price_02.jpg
This poor girl was squeezed a bit too.

They may have also dislocated her hip.
http://www.zootoday.com/pub/21publish/g/girls/sophie_price_05.jpg
Zoo has since gone in and fixed the shadow. I guess they noticed a lot of traffic coming from PhotoshopDisasters, never a good thing to see on your traffic report!
Good Job! :)
Found the original again:
http://www.zootoday.com/pub/21publish/g/girls/imogen_thomas_07.jpg
Dunno if this is a repost.
She is HOTTT even b4 the photoshop stuff up.
Again, the Shadow knows!
Hahaha, I just checked the other photos. There were another mistake like this. Only they remembered to fix the right side of the shadow and not the left. XD
I just found this blog..and Im going through your post....this is by far the one that has made me laugh the MOST.
Huh? oh sorry, I was looking at somthing else on her. ;-)
Huh?....oh sorry I was looking at something else. ;-)
