^oh yes, i can see a similarity in there, but i probably prefer bolofo's work. i love the tree with the kites...beautiful.

 

[Estella*]

well, mullet now come go to walker's thread and tell me what you don't like about him, i'm intrigued

 

[MulletProof]

I do like tim walker, estella.
bad criticism always has a backlash on me...I just think Bolofo's work...in comparision with Tim Walker's...he seems to have more spontaniety and freedom. which doesnt mean tim hasnt...maybe i should just wait and see what bolofo is capable of when working under miss wintour.

oh well, there's a huge difference between walker's work for us vogue and uk vogue or even vogue italia, that's true...
but i think that goes for all of them, even some roversi editorials are smooth and commercially pretty.
don't mind me, i was just hoping we could fight a little

 

[MulletProof]

...I'm not saying commerciality is generally bad, i mean...isnt selling the final point of most fashion magazines? .
it's the lack of balance that comes within certain magazines, they almost seem to strangle their talents in order to fit someone's measures and sell. Roversi is definitely an exceptional case and I think it's only because he relies mainly on his method of effects but for people like Walker or David Sims, there's only a fraction of their essence when they're working for US Vogue and there seems to be a good amount of desperation that just makes me want to turn the page around.
