The original image was intentionally altered to reveal only selected parts of the photograph, as the authors of the radio show wanted the image to reflect the paparazzi theme. Because of this intervention, the image becomes a graphic rather than a straightforward photograph. The partial concealment turns it into a visually constructed composition and gives it a more artistic and conceptual feel. The effect was created using the stippling tool on tooooools.app and further refined in Illustrator.
