…..Let’s just say…..Black people in general…..and the photographer……the first African-American to do a cover for Vogue…..knew exactly how to shoot Beyoncé……I worked as a photographer….and I’ve been shooting (and Nicole has a much better eye than I have right now) for…..decades…..and this is one argument I’ve had with…..art directors, clients, assistants, other photographers, models…..and people who just pissed me TF off….. “YOU HAVE TO SHOOT US DIFFERENTLY”…..you have to open and expose for “OUR SKIN”…..one F-stop more…..if you’re shooting a black model….and a White model together…..and the Polaroid test says…..the correct exposure is…..F-16…..you need to open your lens…..a half a stop or………one stop more to….F-8…..and shoot another test Polaroid……I’m saying Polaroid’s because……I’m old-school……if you don’t…..you’ll wind up with Annie’s shit……I’m not dissing her……because when you have lots of people setting everything up for you…..balancing the light……doing test shots……and all you have to do is show up…..look through the lens…..and push the trigger.….9 times out of 10…..yeah, you’ll get a good shot and everyone will love you…..and call you great…..and say your work is …..wonderful…..and you will achieve that super photographer status…..but you’re not an artist…..and that’s not true photography…..because no one anymore…..”EXCEPT” for true photographers…….gets their hands dirty in chemicals…..or spend time printing one photo over and over….until you get it right……it’s technology doing everything now……kind a like……paint by numbers……most people use…..Photo-Crap…..sorry,…..Shop……or the newest one out there that’ll make your career more easier…….take the zit out……change the chin fat……suck everything up and in……make them look sellable and likeable……change the skin tone for the market the photo will be used in…..if it’s too dark…..make it lighter and make the client happy…….sorry,……not true art……just business…….and Annie…..I could open my phonebook…..and call friends…..in Japan, America, Europe, South America, Australia……and definitely my brother in South Africa…..and all of them would’ve created something more beautiful…..than your idea.
