Australian paparazzo Jamie Fawcett has denied claims photos he took of Mischa Barton's cellulite-laden bottom were doctored.
Fawcett snapped Barton sunbathing topless on holiday in Queensland last week.
The images, which featured on the cover of
NW, showed a bikini-clad Barton, with the dimpled-skin scourge stretching up her leg from her mid thigh.
Barton's publicist tolday claimed the photos were doctored.
"I'm not saying she's perfect, nobody is," the publicist was quoted as saying in
The Daily Telegraph.
"But they've given a 22-year-old woman the legs and bottom of an 80-year-old. Look at the shots that were taken shortly before on a beach in L.A. Did she develop all that cellulite in a couple of weeks?
"There's a lot you can do with Photoshopping."
Fawcett told ninemsn the photos were "an accurate representation of what was photographed that day".
"There was no Photoshopping whatsoever," he said.
"We are not in the business of doctoring or altering pictures and our clients know that."
The
Telegraph said the publicist thought Fawcett was trying to make Barton look bad.
But Fawcett said he did not seek to make a celebrity look good or bad.
"I simply take the picture."
NW magazine could not be reached for comment.
