Pop #34 Spring/Summer 2016

Ugh, thanks for clearing that up! I thought my eyes was deceiving me, and I only noticed because her edit was the best posted so far. Will definitely read up on her story. I just hope it's not as graphic as Kiara K's, apparently she picked her teeth one by one off the ground after her freakish car accident. God, can you imagine????

shut up! no, for years I used to have nightmares about losing my teeth after a violent fall lol. Aomi's was probably damaged way past the root, there's probably not much to put a new one in. I think it's totally possible to add a bone implant or whatever though, especially for cosmetic purposes and in the US. After having my front teeth out of service for 3-4 years with braces, I still remember my first bite when I was finally free, such a strange feeling but so good .. to Aomi!

This Daria shoot is spectacular! Vanessa Reid has done an amazing job with the styling as Daria looks like a real woman - a cool, clever, cultured independent WOMAN!

Bravo. No wonder Celine have now adopted an image from this for the campaign..... How often does that happen?

 

[mariemaud]

This issue is a must buy to me
The Daria by Juergen Teller images are just soo good, I like the idee, the styling, the result

With Teller shooting for Pop? Very often. Don't know why his work must overlap different titles and campaigns, it's simply not memorable enough.

Juergen Teller's work is not memorable?

Wow, now I've heard it all..... The Daria pictures here are both memorable and stunning

No need to be sarcastic, just accept that it was a varying opinion and move on. He's a tremendous artist, but I think it's time to incorporate new elements into his work. Other people in his league are doing it, see Ellen von Unwerth.

Yeah, I agree. It's boring and everyone with a camera and a flash light could shoot it.

^ I'm gonna disagree. In my country countless brands try to emule his work (and Richardon's) for their campaigns and none look half as good.

I feel silly asking this but are POP and Arena Homme + in the same magazine family? Cause both of them did heavy-loaded Teller editorials...

On another note; I bought this issue last night and agree that it's a brilliant issue! The best 650+ pages I've read from POP in awhile!

Yes they are. They are under the same creative team led by Ashley Heath I believe.

what does this even mean? this is a discussion forum, for discussing and sharing opinions, not worshipping models and stan hard/~hate~ on the non-favorites/non-Darias/non-Dutch models, that's what's redundant, deeply embarrassing and what people should move on from, not opinions on the evolution of photographers, which lewak certainly seems to enjoy and makes some sort of effort with, and just to weigh in, no, if you bother to go through Teller's archive and step out of Daria Sanctuary for a second, you'll see that he's capable of producing far more interesting and dimensional imagery, with more content than "stunning!" and it's actually been several years since he's been maybe overworked or full of fashion assignments that he's resorted to recycling this sense of immediacy and spontaneity he once captured with this type of result that has little substance and is just there for mere fashion entertainment with the simplistic elements they melt over (the well-known model.. without photoshop or post edition, in the paris of pedestrians.. clap).

I dislike Daria's modelling and Jeurgen's photography but I love that editorial. It's magnificent.

Can you please link me to it? (I'm truly asking)

Love Daria's editorial and I do think this is different from Juergen's usual direction. Outside being normal, the "picture on picture" thing, no weird poses or settings... This is actually pretty "safe" and at the same time beautiful.

And she does look like a lot of 32 years old women I know. And her "make-up free look" is refreshing and welcome.

Enjoying both Lena Emery's and Charlotte Wales' work too.

Have a look at the April issue of British Harper's Bazaar in the Magazines forum. Ellen's feature in there is a departure from her usual crass sex kitten kitsch, and I find it welcoming. Even though she's a niche photographer, in a way that she hardly ever deviate from her signature style, I'm sure she felt required (or compelled? It's not important either way) to modify or explore something different in order for her work to align with the mood of the magazine. This is why, as dull and conservative as they may seem, I actually admire British Harper's distinct vision. Another example is Bruce Weber's campaign for Ralph Lauren. Even Tim Walker, to some extent.

With Teller I just feel that his last few efforts are a becoming increasingly repetitive and there's too much self-aggrandisement going on (Hotel Jurgen for the Barney's campaign/his Kim photo in a gallery above etc etc). And then of course there's this new, sickening trend where his work for Pop often ends up in another magazine (his expansion of Adele Exarchopoulos' edit continued in Vogue Japan).
This thinking that a signature photographer should be entitled to rehash the same old ideas over and over just seems a bit outdated.

ETA: The 'no weird poses or settings', surely you can look at any Céline campaign to spot that..............

 

[MissMagAddict]

To dismiss Teller by saying the photographs he makes could be snapped by anyone doesn't work. A photographer's style comes from within. You can't copy or recreate someone else's world because you aren't living in it. You'll always be outside of it. Part of finding your real self as an artist is knowing when you've found it.
