Don't Panic...Vogue

This is part of my research for the Don't Panic brief, as I have a keen interest in Photography, I scanned in the Tim Walker 'Vogue' photos from his book 'Pictures' and felt it would be appropriate to put them on here.



The Lily Cole image shows her laid on the Front Cover of an old copy of the magazine. Props around the magazine, include a camera lens other photos and a cable which had to be specially constructed for the piece. Talking about the camera, it is quoted in Walker's book, '...we had to reproduce every mark, every etched number and the texture of the original but 50 times larger.'
This is a fantastic image, it hasn't been manipulated, which would be the easy option to achieve this effect, so it really does work.



This is a Vogue cover for the Italian version, from February 2009, featuring Pixie Geldof photographed by Steven Meisel. The subtitle at the bottom, 'so young so cool' is in a sans serif, thin, rounded type, to represent the young and fresh looking face on the cover, which is not the face I am familiar with after the media published images of her partying looking quite drunk.
The colours in the photograph are very neutral, and give Pixie a natural look, her eye make up is fairly dark but the soft colour of her skin helps retain a youthful appearance, as a lot of young celebs are often caked in make-up making them look much older than they are. Her pose is very relaxed and comfortable and focusses in on her face, ideal for the subtitle 'so young...'.
