I literally look forward to these cover battle videos! Love them! I totally agree with you on the intense level of retouching and editing. It is unnecessary and unrealistic. I think my least favorite is the Dua Lipa cover. Couldn't even tell it was her and it was just boring. I think my favorite are the Vogue Portugal covers. Thank you for this video!
Excellent commenting on the vogue cover of the original supermodels. You’re so right - it’s completely disrespectful to photoshop away their absolute gorgeousness.
I can tell Linda isn’t thrilled about it, I haven’t heard anything from the others but she has been talking about her hate for retouching a lot lately.
suchhh a good review on all of these covers. as an aspiring fashion / documentary photographer, I find your constructive criticisms helpful as I can reflect them on my own work (and learn more about fashion in general)!! love love love
Hi Noah, thank you so much for the nice comment. In writing, the rewriting process is crucial to the success of any book, but I think looking critically in photography is often skipped. So much can be gained by analyzing why something is successful, what went wrong, or what can be improved.
@@THEMODELGENE I agree with you that the vogue Arabia covers are extremely strong! I’m also confused by the amount of covers that are supposed to be “artistic” I don’t actually flatter the subject. What is this trend?! Also it’s gross but you know I love the Aaron Taylor Johnson cover because I’m a simp for him
Thank you, I try to evaluate the work from many different angles. In 2015 I started my own model scouting agency, but my love for photography started in high school. I studied architecture and then an mba in luxury brand management, assisted as a stylist, interned at the PR office of KCD Paris, I also do retouching and shoot my own models 🙂
What are your favorite covers from the September issues?
I loved the vogue arabia one !
@@idksorry5576 it’s a fun one!

I learn so much from these reviews. I would have loved to see that Vogue France Mert Alas cover photo presented as a mono. The lovely textures.
Great point Tim, I think that would have worked much better than all those brown shades.

As always, this is perfect and you are perfect.
Thank you for touching on the grave and delusional state of American Vogue 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Normalize aging!!!
😁Thank you, and yes, that issue should have been sold in a brown paper bag to respect obscenity laws.
Were there any issues that you enjoyed for September?

Okay you’re dramatic, your suggestions aren’t even great.
Hi Bhungane, thanks for your comment. I'd love if you could share your suggestions.
