Lara Mullen, for me, sticks out because of her height. And in a way it ruins the story because that's very distracting.
I think Erik perform better with smaller groups. Anyway, one can tell this was a rushed job. It's a bit skint on his usual brand of rich creativity. Photographers like him should be paced and used in moderation. The styling however is perfection as usual. I do think Leith is easily the best stylist across British glossies right now. She's not a Lucinda Chambers. Leigh is very attuned to her audience, yet always incorporate a slight nuance into her work to keep it current. I saw an enchanting feature of hers in VI with Keira, she should branch out and bring in a different photographer for a change. Readers will grow weary and begin to loathe Erik, who truth be told isn't actually a bad photographer at all.
