^^^ LOL because the output is so mediocre, they need to add in the useless gimmick of “it’s natural light from the golden hour” which frankly just looks like a pink overlay with some yellow tints… Unless there are more shots of which these people have skillfully and tastefully utilized the “golden hour” light (feast your eyes on Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner scene of Decker and Rachel’s first meeting :swoons at the stunning lighting:...) this covershot is utter mediocrity. It’s like Harley insisting she only shoots in analogue—which in principle is refreshing. But what does it matter when her selects need to be digitally scanned, than it’s reproduced on cheap paperstock for some rag, and not silver-gelatine print LOOL The results are the same had she shot with a digital camera— just like this “golden hour light” looks just the same level of quality as using an overlay on PS in post.
Gimmick gimmicks gimmicks instead of talent and creative vision. This is why print is dying/dead.
(The other 2 stories are actually decent...)
