Beautiful!
An non-Photoshopped Cate Blanchett graces the April cover of Intelligent Life magazine and she looks great!
Editor Tim de Lisle said he wanted to leave the image un-retouched because most magazines “end up running heavily Photoshopped images, with every last wrinkle expunged”.
He continued in his editor’s letter:
“She looks like what she is; a woman of 42, spending her days in an office, her evenings on stage and the rest of her time looking after three young children. We can’t be too self-righteous about it, because, like anyone else who puts her on a cover, we are benefiting from her beauty and distinction. But the shot is at least trying to reflect real life. It’s a curious sign of the times that this has become something to shout about.”
We’re not complaining about de Lisle’s decision.
In fact, we wish other publications would follow suit or at the very least lighten up on the amount of retouching they do.
