I’m a former journalist and when I saw this photo, I thought it had to be Photoshopped. Then I found out it came from your patch and couldn’t believe it. I can buy the cigarette teeth, but not the upper lip. Either this is doctored or there is some kind of circumstance - optical illusion, rubbed up against someone’s sweater. No stylist would ever let the client out like this.

There’s no Photoshop involved here - this is just a tight crop of a looser headshot.
It doesn’t seem like an especially nice thing to do, but it was all there in the picture: GBU Editor
