Thanks guys for posting the edit.
Terry sucks. As a human and as a fashion photographer. He’s clearly run out of any resemblance of creativity. where once his imagery was irreverent, even graphically sharp— it’s now flat and lacking any kind of energy. Why not give a young photographer with fresh ideas and even vision a chance, W Korea? I guess these licensed offshoots of their flagship publications will keep the likes of Terry employed on brand alone, unfortunately.
I guess the weak selections for the covers can’t be helped considering the selection. Even many lookbook shoots have as stronger fashion direction and story concept than this banality. The fashion direction sucks. The flat lighting sucks and makes Bella resemble some depressed drag-version of Liv Taylor at best— at worst, she just looks sad. The red W masthead is so harsh with that annoying blue digitally-produced seamless.
So much suckage.
