Kevin Federline has his throat slashed

Kevin Federline had his throat slashed for a photoshoot by celebrity photographer Steven Klein for the “Face of Fashion” exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery (opening Feb. 15).

Says Steven Klein on K-Fed: “To me, a portrait is a representation of a person and a slash across a throat is the equivalent of a brushstroke. It’s like a classical painting. The slash, the make-up, is a mask that reveals who the person is. For me, the break in the skin shows that all portraits are lies. To see through the skin is to see someone’s reality.”

Says Steven Klein on Brad Pitt (of his W photoshoot with Angelina Jolie): “He doesn’t just stand in the corner. He starts playing, acting. The shots of him and Angelinawere based on an idea he had. He was inspired by the portraits of old-style families in Life magazine. It’s meant to be set around the time of John Kennedy’s assassination and the sudden sense of fracture there was then. There’s an ambiguity to the shots, it’s up to the viewer to read them. But I don’t like quiet, romantic pictures. I like confronting taboos, playing with popular culture. I don’t overanalyze or overconceive what I do.”

    Damn, that’s a bad ass photo. You can see all the carne. I wonder why he chose Kevin to pose for him.

    I don’t know why he was really chosen for the pic but I heard he posed for it right before his divorce. Its kind of ironic now given the way he is being treated. I will give him some credit because he is facing all the harsh attacks and still trying to do his business. Britney’s actions are making him look better each day. He has laid low from a lot of his usual partying behavior.
