Celebrities Photoshopped To Look ‘Heavier’ To Promote Body Positivity

Spanish artist David Lopera has recently started a new project that had him editing the photos of popular female celebrities like Katy Perry and Jennifer Lawrence, to make them look “heavier” than their usual selves.



In his project, Lopera digitally manipulated the photos of these celebrities with Photoshop to make them look “plus-size”, which later sparked an online debate about its impact on the body positivity movement.



Lopera explained on his Facebook page that his project was about making people accept “the big women a little bit more.”



However, Bustle has other ideas about his project, saying that “in the end, what he is doing is manipulating images of women… something that is pretty much the furthest thing from “revolutionary” just about ever.”



What do you think of this controversial Photoshop project?
