K-Fed’s had his throat slashed for a photo shoot by photographers to the stars Steven Klein.

“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,” S.K said of his shoot with Fed-Ex.

The exhibit featuring Kev’s photo will open February 15th at the National Potrait Gallery in London.
