Recently, I've found that bloggers, critics, editors of magazines, you name it, are becoming more and more focused on the photography in an editorial. And there's nothing wrong with that - you all know me and my obsession with lighting and photography as an art in general. Talented photographers are something we all love and it's amazing to see thousands of them out there, developing their signature compositions, etc.
There was a time, when I was a 3-year-old, that it was too much about the name of the model on the page, and people started freaking out that we were losing the art in fashion (I know - I'm weird - I don't remember my kid brother stealing my favourite toy, but I remember some guy on some screen talking about Kate Moss). I feel like we've swung a bit in the opposite direction and forgotten about the models. We'll recognise a big name or a pretty face, and then admire the lighting and the composition of the shot, and forget that the model is a working artist.
And after all that (I'm not even going to read it over because it's embarrassing how much I've ranted), I would just like to say that Behati Prinsloo is amazing and this shot is the greatest piece of genius modelwork I've seen in such a long time.

this is a really gorge photo! And dress!
I didn't really respect what models did until I started my blog and realized that there is a lot more to it than JUST standing around and having won the genetic lottery. That being said, I think a lot of the emphasis falls on photographers because realistically no model can develop a career in fashion mags that spans 20+ years (Kat Moss notwithstanding most models retire by age 20 or so). That and for blogs I've noticed that the photography makes all the difference between a good blog and a great one.

I agree with you...Models do a great work in the way they captivated our eyes in the shots, but the work done by the photographer is incredible too.
Definitely, I see what you mean. I guess it's always a struggle for balance between the two. That aside, this picture is quite lovely!
That is a fantastic photograph. It definitely makes all the difference when the photography is well composed and thought-out.
Great editorial, thanks for sharing!
i want that shot framed and hanging on my wall right now! it's breathtaking. the neutrals/browns mixed with the color of the sky and her INCREDIBLE dress... stunning.
