Hansel and Gretel-December Vogue Issue Shoot


The new issue of Vogue shows a photo shoot called "Little Girl and Boy lost." based on the famous children's story Hansel and Gretel where Gretel is modelled by Lili Cole, the witch by Lady Gaga and Hansel by Andrew Garfield, the photoshoot was created by Annie Leibovitz who was inspired after seeing a performance on Hansel and Gretel by the Metropolitan Opera ( a remake of old opera set by Richard Jones), its a very splendid shot very splendid indeed, thought i seems to always look straight at Lili Cole's bright hair.





Children to Neglect- French Vogue/Italian Vogue


Lately there been alot of photoshoots in teh European Vogue (such as the French Vogue and the Italian Vogue) showing the concept of motherhood in the modern society being neglectful of their children, in april a french vogue shoot showed two images of a pregnant woman, one smoking the other one tossing a baby away. Of course the photo shoots in the French Vogue has the humour and wackiness needed in it and it shows it with the concept of the mothers in the picture seem uncaring or oblivious to their child's presence. Personally i think the shoots are quite interesting and more so refreshingly different.
