Сheck іt out hеre.
This is pompous self promoting garbage. Seriously if I have to look at one more photo spread containing head-shots of famous people I’m going to puke. No passion, no excitement, just some faces of some people… who just happen to be famous. If he did the same shots of random strangers would we even care? Would anyone bother to publish these “portraits” if an unknown photographer shot them? I don’t think so. It sickens me to know that once someone gains some bit of fame or notoriety they can shoot total crap and pass it off as inspired work because they have name recognition. Just because people think you’re great doesn’t mean everything you shoot is great.
“Look off camera,”
“Now look confused,”
“Now look right at me,”
“Give me constipated,”
Give me a break. Nothing but ego driven dribble, for both the subject and the shooter.
PS. Using the film frame makes it look just that much more pretentious.
