Corner Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I am honestly trying not to sound like a hater, but it's proving to be hard. There always seem to be something off about Adriana's modeling work nowadays. Most of her work now looks amateurish or try-hard.... and this woman is supposed to be a seasoned pro. This is the first time ever i find mysmyself not bothering to save her pictures. Maybe she needs to take a break and work on her boby and also take some time to rediscover her modeling skills. Granted, it's not always her fault, it could also be the photographer or at the final selecting of the pictures that gets released, but it's so worrying when girls like gigi can deliver great pictures without so much as winking and Adriana always looks forced. What happened to the Adriana I feel it love with? I think this cover looks cheap. You'd think Russell would capture her beauty better than anyone after all these years, but alas.Ok I take it back, looking at the image again, the cover doesn't look cheap but a little sue to the excessive retouching. Again, not her fault. I just want a great image from her like the old times Quote

Souled-Out Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Honestly IMO this is the best Adriana has done for Vogue. I guess you are a bigger fan of how she use to be, but I feel like how she use to be is the reason why it took so long for people to respect her as a model. I perfer this adriana. I prefer all the work. And I prefer covers likes this. Where she not only looks beautiful but on that cover, its a still shot but there is alot of movement going on. She isn't as, dare I say stiff like she use to be. I think you are a fan of Adriana using her natural beauty for things but I think that has always been the problem. Thats why people constantly said she is better for VS than HF. And its because for VS when you look as good as her, you can use your natural beauty and not have to do different poses and stuff, but for things like this modelling like that is why people complain. And I think its understandable because HF is more than just about the looks. Looking at her past stuff she barely tried and as nice looking as she is, it wont cut it for as many people. You call it "less forced" others call it stiff and boring. Hf is more about art not just looking a kind of way. Thats why models who aren't as good looking as her are considered better models and nobody is taking someone like Gigi seriously neither. Just like they didn't adriana. if anything he should stick to these modelling skills. its whats going to save her when she leaves VS. She can't keep modelling like she is with them. I like the cover because she still looks beautiful(which is why people still looking at it likes it a GQ cover lol. So many guys themselves are saying they want the cover/are reposting it) and I don't see it as "forced" but just a good shot. I like that there is more movement. Its the only way she is actually going to get more respect outside of commercial. Because honestly, anybody model can look good on cover just because they are beautiful. Its exciting when there is more going on than just their beauty. And I also think the colors compliment her well Quote
Corner Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 TKC, I love reading your posts. They give me a lot of insight and make me see/understand things I might otherwise miss. I guess this is a matter of different taste. I love high fashion as much as the next model lover really. I prefer it to commercial modeling. Adriana just doesn't deliver for me sometimes now. Especially her magazine covers. Something always looks off. I can't put my finger on it but it annoys me. I get pleased with the results of other models' work because they always look so natural to me and finished. Adriana just doesn't do that for me sometimes. Might have to do with her agency trying to prove she's high fashion and it doesn't translate gracefully. Her marc Jacobs fragrance campaign looks unfinished, this cover looks too retouched... idk idk Also, I mentioned Gigi because she's getting a lot of praise from her modeling work and people have started to accept her Quote
foofur16 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I'm not going to lie. This cover is good. Not great, but good. Comparing to her French Revue cover which probably for me is her best HF cover http://www.fashionmodeldirectory.com/magazines/french-revue-de-modes/covers/october-2002/adriana-lima-8401/, it feels stiff and forced.I think it's the Photoshop that's too much or the make-up that's off. It's great she's getting covers and showing range in her work but I agree with Corner. Something is off with her modelling lately and I love Adriana. Maybe it's stress; modelling and being a mom cannot be easy, especially with her girls being in Miami and all the big photographers are in New York. Quote
Souled-Out Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Yeah, I hope I didn't seem like I was trying to be mean or bite your head off, I just honestly thinks that what it is. You prefer her old HF kind of work, I feel like alot of people don't. I The harder she tries the better people accept her HF. And honestly I am not a biggie on HF, just certain models lol and even though I found the "faults" in her old HF work, I still liked it. I think as fans we are already accepting at what she brings to the table. We wouldn't be fans if we didn't enjoy what she has done in the past. So its normal to not like the change and think the old work is better. But, after years hearing why people don't like it, looking at models who are more notorious in fashion, and seeing how those models model compared to not only adriana but other VS models who people give shit for in HF. Ironically they too relied more on their natural beauty. Which makes them awesome for commercial. Thats why Adriana is still killing it when it comes to commercial. Thats why I don't think she lost her modelling skill. She changes what she needs to. Its just she has barely been with VS, so you haven't seen much commercial. Her VS swim special picturesshowed she still had it. Just With HF people are more anal than others and perception is more important. And I agree maybe Adriana or her people caught on to it too. I understand the change sucks but if she is going to leave VS, she has to find change in areas she isn't the strongest. lets be honest Adriana was no fashion darling. She will be doing more of that work once she leaves. I love her but I think modelling like she use to won't cut it. look at the other VS models like her who models in HF the way she use to and gets crap for their HF too. She's killing them all as well as her old self lol. Landing covers she never got and covers that are hard to get but prestigious in fashion But like Is said, as people who already liked adriana before her career began to expand so much I can see why it pisses you off LOL. I genuinely like the cover, its better than something like her vogue italia where she obviously depended on her natural beauty(for the actual editorial she didn't) but for the cover even fans on facebook were saying she should have tried harder on her facial expression for that cover... and I am accepting period because she may be better off than if she didn't change and I want to see her around longer. Her agency has to try hard to make her seem good for HF or she won't be that respected as a model. I don't want her to be a glorified lingerie model lol. I want her to have something better Quote
