All photos yield clues of photoshop or airbrushing. I will give the photographer credit. It is a fantastic photo. This conversation about it makes that point. We probably agree more than we disagree. The band hired a famous professional photographer to show the world through Rolling Stone they were back in the studio. I dont think Lindsey gets that primped to work in a studio. Its very orchestrated to give the appearance of a spontaneous studio shot. That's the creative process with photography. But when you dig a little deeper its more of a posed, highly edited photo just like any other the band put out. Peace.

holy jeebus, did anyone seriously think this was (or was even supposed to be) a 'spontaneous' shot of them actually working in the studio????
my my my people are far more naive than I ever imagined.
IT'S A PR PHOTO ffs, of course they're all dressed and made up. Jeebus come take me now.
