What I See: Brooklyn Beckham

Product Information

An interesting collection of images. His family makes for beautiful subjects. I especially love the images of strangers he has encountered. I also really enjoy his street photography — quite inspiring. The couple are thought to have been dating for months, having first met in 2017 at a Halloween party. He has no sense of the rules of thirds, or spacing in general. There was a picture of a bust that, and I am not joking, he managed to cut the head off of. He either needed to step in to the picture or step out in almost every picture. He didn't take all the pictures in the book! The book is called What I See, but he didn't take all the pictures! He copywrote all the pictures as his own, but at least 7% of the book was made up of pictures that his friends or family members took. He doesn't even name the friends that took the pictures. Very weird choice, why didn't an editor stop him from doing this? This is what I mean when I say the book had no sense. After working as a model, Brooklyn won a place at the Parsons School of Design in New York studying photography.

What I See is a book for teenagers, by a teenager, which gives Brooklyn’s fans broader insight into his world seen through his unique and creative perspective,” Managing Director Francesca Dow tells The Independent. “Teenagers lives are filled with the visual image and we know Brooklyn’s photos resonate with his huge young following, who avidly follow his life through his photography. We are proud to bring these images together in a book for a young generation for the first time.” Not all the photos are by him, some are of him, and the photos themselves are of fairly average quality and interest overall, there is shall we say no stand out shots, there are some you might say oh nice photo there, but that is what you would say to most collections of photos by any average joe. The Brigitte Bardot-influenced look of German supermodel Claudia Schiffer’s campaign images for Guess jeans in 1989 provided inspiration for hairstylist Adir Abergel on Nicola’s wedding day. New York publicist R Couri Hay told The Times: "This is the Hollywood version of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

I never thought I would actually be an author,' Brooklyn told W Magazine. 'But it’s been really fun and a cool experience seeing how much I’ve changed – and my mum and dad are really proud of me, which is dope.' " She’s like my little sister – she annoys me all the time, but she’s also the best,” Abergel told Vogue. “She’s been sending me all of these rad images of early Claudia Schiffer – including pictures of her with bangs – so they inspired us, plus the dress, which is just beautiful.” The aspect ratio of every picture was extremely weird. Most of the pictures were 16:9, which doesn't make sense for a picture ratio (I assume he chose that aspect ratio because it filled the screen of his laptop?). When you don't follow the rules of thirds and you have an aspect ratio like 16:9 it ends up being very jarring in a way that I am certain was not intentional.

The caption next to a shadowy photo of an elephant reads: “Elephants in Kenya. so hard to photograph, but incredible to see.”This time, Brooklyn’s poetic caption reads, “I like this picture, it’s out of focus but you can tell a lot is going on”. The footballer, turned model, turned photographer clearly has no aptitude when it comes to words and yet somehow, his editor and publishers allowed this book to become a reality.

The Independent reports that the book has been criticized and ridiculed by professional critics and photographers. Here’s what iNews art editor and former Independent writer Alice Jones had to say: I had one hour to kill in a bookstore and I didn't want to start a book I couldn't finish so when I spotted this book I thought "ooo pretty pictures! This should keep me occupied." Sigh...... It's infuriating that someone who only has a 'famous' family name thinks he can be a professional photographer. He has none of the qualities needed. It's very clear he has zero vision, focus or intelligence. Elephants aren't hard to photograph if you know how something simple like LIGHT works. Restaurants aren't difficult to photograph if you know how to use timer/speed settings, which even though he has the most expensive equipment, he doesn't.

Nicola isn’t even the only actor in the family, with her brother Will having featured in a number of productions including Unfriended and In Time.
