Magazine Cover, The good and The underwhelming

Vogue: Korea, July 2019

The Good:

Vogue, July 2016 issue, featuring Kristen Stewart looks full of effort and thought.

A lot has gone into the angle, lighting, and space orientations of this particular shoot.

Even though the hair the skin color and makeup, nothing is in much contrast, yet the lighting is such that the whole point of a cover interaction with the audience is captivating.

The jewelry, the ensemble of a luxury tribal feels organic and the angle screams indulgence.

Vogue: India, December 2019

The underwhelming:

This particular December 2019, Vogue issue, goes wrong, in terms of both photography and styling, the makeup (contour) is extremely harsh, the eyebrows very pointed and arched much to an evil side.

Even though it is a winter edit and ensemble, the styling looks like summer and the dull background and lighting looks wintery. A contrast not as soothing. The effort in terms of pose and model expressions looks out of place and vain.

Oscar-winning hairstylist Paul LeBlanc designed the hairdo. The Coens instructed LeBlanc to create a "strange and unsettling" hairstyle. The actor supposedly said that he was "not going to get laid for two months" because of his haircut. Chigurh kills without compassion or remorse, bu...

Sustainability. A choice or a Budget?

Sustainability- the ability to exist constantly, or so says Wikipedia. As I see it, sustenance is like the monthly grocery which is on a budget. We use as much as we need and hope it lasts us for the next twenty nine days. If the key to sustainability is a packet of sugar, we figure out a way to use it, so that it covers us for every cup of tea, that we will consume. But, of course some people can afford two packets of sugar and might pour, more per drink. But that's, a matter of choice and not budget. It's time we think about, the impacts of non biodegradable wastes, forests burning, global warming, excess usage of fossil fuels, and raise a question of- whether we are consuming fuels, to travel the distaces today, or waiting for the entire planet to turn to fossils tomorrow? I think it's time to worry about what series of disasters, asking for a plastic bag would cause, just how we worry about our favourite series coming up on Netflix. Our prime concerns should...
