Rafael’s shoot is an amateur eyesore and should have never made it to print. Shooting him on the field, in motion would likely produce more of a decent result: Cheap styling and directionless, weak photography. He’s a forgettable model, but that’s not his fault since most hetero male athletes can’t model and typically look awkward, uncomfortable and self-conscious when modelling fashion. They need a lot of strong direction, and strength in creative direction is not a standard trait with photographers nowadays.
Orlando’s and Venus’ shoots are surprisingly competent— which is hilariously and sadly a passable feat worthy of praise these days with fashion publications.
