      Leaving aside the mutual admiration society aspects here, I think editors and photographers should always try to capture in a still a characteristic expression, if a portrait, or something that clearly conveys what is taking place, without any other consideration, but this is rarely done. Admittedly it is not easy. Try dissolving a film clip into its frames and picking the one which gives you the sense of the clip itself. And in the field being in the right place at the right time is a matter of luck at best. As a result, things are often posed or arranged. Honesty, too, was not rampant in the old days - selling was considered more important - and, in fact, objectivity has been hard won. Just as so many of the silver screen's singers were dubbed, so many of the past's most famous pictures were staged: bodies on Omaha beach, as recently came to light; raising the flag on Mt Suribachi; the Spanish civil war's falling comrade; the allies meeting at the Elbe, etc. This is very common in fashion magazines and it appears to be Ms Lacombe's approach. You can call it art, but I do not like it. In many of these I would not even recognize the subject at all. BTW, I think she bears a certain resemblance to Mr Beatty.
