Re: SC pics from some magazine
Anybody know what magazine these are from? I think these photos are awful. ITA that the hair is especially bad, but the whole concept and art direction--IMO they're:x :x :x Sasha is a beautiful and photogenic young woman, but there is nothing honest about these photos. They're trying to look make Sasha look sophisticated, but IMO they look like what they are--a beautiful, athletic 18-year-old with bad hair, costumes, lighting, and photography. They're like photos from an aspiring model's bad portfolio. All these photos need to be worse are those fake sunset backgrounds they have for photos at K-Mart.
I don't know who Sasha's PR person is or even if she has one, but for those who don't like Sasha, they're just going to laugh at this. If this was for some sort of teen or tween magazine, I understand the aesthetic--after all, their readers are girls who want to play dress up. But if I was doing a photo shoot of Sasha, I'd put her in a couple of simple practice outfits, have her hair pinned in plain bun, and little if any make up. I'd put her in a rink with simple lighting and just tell her to skate while I shot--okay, I'd get a better photographer than I am or could ever hope to be8o It wouldn't sell any tween magazines or Maybelline make-up, but I think a photo shoot along those lines would show Sasha as the strong athlete and interesting personality she is instead of the model for the Sasha doll.
Don't get me wrong. I really like Sasha and have no doubt she would make an amazing photographic subject. I just don't like these photos (don't like these kind of photos of anybody). JMO.
