acko Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I think 'celeb' photography in general has gone down hill, the whole airbrush thing is just ridiculous. And it's not even about covering up flaws...just look at this tasteless crap? it's like someone's bad Madonna tattoo or an airbrushed hood of a truck Sorry but Klein is up their with the greats...it's just the internet fucking spoils everything with every other outtake posted online... Just imagine if circa 1988 the internet existed & outtakes of these hideous/boring Herb Ritts shoots just leaked The forums would b going crazy saying she should move on from herb Ritts...

Guest Not4Pussies Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 i even like the D&G ads in 2010 by Klein, not 2009, but the 2010 ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%. That MDNA pic you posted is exactly what I am talking about. It looks more like a painting than an actual photograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky guy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 meh i love the harshness in his photos But it doesn't love Madonna; that's the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky guy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 unflattering? to much airbrushed? not good good lighting? homoerotic? this was bad? well i like it Her eye surrounded by hair is nice enough, but that's a shot anyone could do -Willy Baker could do that for Kylie and has not even a professional photographer. The RIT one is nice. The other two are genuinely apalling, and pretty much make my point for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree -I prefer those two shots to any Klein outtakes I've ever seen. And to respond to that point that Miesel's VF shoot was rubbish, he said himself that her camp had requested all the airbrushing. He didn't think the shots needed it. There's no way to prove this, but I think if we could see the originals they would be beautiful photos of a mature woman -not the 'granny under torture' outtakes we get from Klein.

acko Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I don't agree -I prefer those two shots to any Klein outtakes I've ever seen. No, my point was EVERY photo shoot has tons of "shots"...in the old days they just never leaked I don't understand why people r making his case based on shit that leaks on the innernet...when in reality he brought Madonna back after a decade of Testino like glamour shots.

I do see what you're saying. It's just when some of Klein's leak, you think what the FUCK was the CHANCE of that EVER looking good? Madonna in a corner bandaged up like a mummy? Madonna sweating like a pig with horrid straggly centre parted hair? Those shots of Ritts are average, but the beauty of Ritts is that any minute she could turn around and combust into magic and he would capture it. How's that supposed to happen with Klein? He wouldn't see it, give a fuck if he saw it, know how to shoot it, and even if he did it wouldn't make it through the airbrushing process.

ryan Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I actually really liked the MDNA booklet photographs. I thought she looked gorgeous and sexy, even if the photographs were extremely blown out to smooth out her skin. Yeah, it didn't need that cross processing look like in Rihanna's Loud photographs, but i still love it either way.
