It's your own bloody fault.

Let's not forget that he shot a Burberry campaign

https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2016/jul/13/brooklyn-beckham-burberry-campaign-art-critics-verdict


quote:

Brooklyn Beckham is no Nan Goldin, but there is still nothing inherently wrong with a teenage model who happens to have famous parents being asked to shoot Burberry’s latest campaign. He is not the first model to go behind the lens. The great Lee Miller went from fashion model to heroic war photographer. But Beckham is no Lee Miller, either. In fact, it is hard to make any meaningful comparison of his work with any good photographer because his pictures for Burberry have zero artistic distinction.

In each image, young men and women are juxtaposed clad in the very height of fashion and looking very lovely, in a slightly bland way. These pictures may be highly effective. There are probably plenty of people who want to look like these people, and hope a new bag might do it. As art, however, these photographs do not exist. Fashion has produced many of the most artistically gifted photographers. The apparently simple job of taking nice shots of models in jeans or jewels has inspired artists as different and yet equally brilliant as Helmut Newton and Juergen Teller.

What a Newton or a Teller have in common is edginess and danger. They turn fashion photography into an imaginative theatre where beauty, desire, power and voyeurism electrify everything – a sense of danger taken to horrific extremes in the film The Neon Demon. There is none of that with Brooklyn. To call his photographs a bit tame is like saying a hamster is not a very fearsome animal. These pictures have no bite and no drama, and nothing to say. They don’t even exhibit the banality of evil or of kitsch – just banality lite. Where is the anger of youth? It has been sprayed away with expensive eau de cologne.

Is it really this boring to be Brooklyn Beckham?
That may be some consolation to photographers who despair of ever getting such a gig. His beautiful people need to wake up.

I'm go make the libellous suggestion that someone set up the entire shot and told him which button to press and not to touch anything else.

Yeah while the photos in the advert aren't anything special, they're not going to stop you in your tracks if you flick through them in a magazine. They at least show competence with lighting, whereas that picture of the elephant...

There's zero chance that Brooklyn Beckham did more than walk around on a very carefully designed lighting stage with a 5DIII on auto mode and a wireless link. I'd be amazed if he even saw the pictures between the time his digital assistant took the camera away from him at the end of the shoot and the point where the marketing team showed him the final edits to 'proof'.

David Beckham is a pretty drat gifted soccer player, who despite not coming across as the smartest guy to walk the earth always came across as genuine and charitable. It must kill him that his son is such an untalented dope.

I don't hate him: he's 18 and he's just started a new artistic hobby.
We were a) poo poo and b) pretentious at that age

The difference is, for us, the World said 'You're poo poo, come back when you've learnt how to do this properly'

For him, the World said 'Hello son of famous people, you're great, here's a book deal'




Oops, nope. Turns out I do hate him.

The collages even have out of focus text - which makes me think they photographed a print of the collage and managed to get that out of ficus too. Either that or it's layers upon layers of jpeg artifacts from saving the same file over and over at low quality.
