Annie Leibovitz Shoots Sears with Kardashians
Is it just me, or is there something dreadfully bizzare just off with this whole thingie?
The Gothamist thinks so.
So seriously, am I off my rocker being sort of suspended in disbelief?
Here’s the behind the scenes video from Elle.com, which was even weirder…
If you start to explain why you think this is weird, then you’ll probably decide to delete what you wrote. Sometimes you have to see the perspective of a world that doesn’t shop from the Ads in Vogue. I can see why Jimmy Choo wouldn’t design shoes for Target, but I don’t see why this would hurt Annie’s “brand” as a photographer.
kudos to the Sears marketing team for going out and doing something pretty out of the box for a bland retailer like them. I mean seriously, they worked the angle to get one of the most incredible photographers out there… sure, it’s kind of a bad vibe from mrs. Leibovitz, but I’m sure she’s getting paid really well to do… her job… take pictures. I seriously doubt that most (if any people) would scoff at the opportunity to present a bid to Sears’ agency for this gig.
Seems a little out of the norm for her type of work, I guess… but every job has its price. I’d do a photo shoot with Elmo, Barney, and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in the middle of downtown Moscow during a Blizzard, if the price was right. LOL I’m sure all of you would too. Good for Annie; she’s staying busy.
I guess Im failing to see the disconnect here.
Annie has been always connected with Hollywood, sure more in a fine art vs commercial way, but as most have said, shes got debts to pay but this keeps her connected with Hollywood while Disney isnt calling for shoots.
The post is typical fashion, its gotta Annies signature darks and theres a chunk of change made on all sides here.
Please go away, kweirdos
