美国体操天后比妮丝(Simone Biles)接受《时尚》(Vogue)杂志访问,并登上 8 月号的封面,叫粉丝雀跃不已。封面相片由著名摄影师安妮莱博维茨(Annie Leibovitz)掌镜,但大量网民却认为照片拍摄质素差劣,引来连串批评的声音!

莱博维茨替比妮丝拍摄了一系列的照片,其中两张被拣选出来,成为纸本杂志及数码版的封面照。网民批评这两张照片“光线很差”、“摄影师不懂打灯”,皮肤甚至呈现“褪色”的感觉。此外,杂志又在 Instagram 上张贴第三张照片。网民的评语也以负面居多,例如:令比妮丝显得忧伤和不耐烦。网民指责《时尚》杂志说,应该聘请一位了解如何拍摄深色肤色的黑人摄影师,日后亦应该多聘用黑人摄影师和模特儿。

I adore Simone Biles and am thrilled she’s on this cover... but I hate these photos. I hate the toning, I hate how predictable they are, I hate the social crop here (wtf?) and I super hate that Vogue couldn’t be bothered to hire a Black photographer. https://t.co/az0gLugdzS

This @Simone_Biles shoot was great but again, I’m disappointed at how many professional photographers don’t know how to treat dark skin. These edits took less than 10 mins to color correct. #VOGUE pic.twitter.com/qVr1mwQOCi

This photo of THE Simone Biles for Vogue magazine was taken by “THE” Annie Leibovitz. How a person can work as a professional photographer for decades and still be this bad at lighting and photographing dark skin is baffling to me. Annie are you ok? pic.twitter.com/ycaH9LxsLL

If we can see these shots are horrible why couldn’t Annie Leibovitz? Lighting & styling are all wrong

事实上,网上亦有支持安妮的声音。支持者的理据主要围绕比妮丝的受访内容,包括:奥运体操队队医 Larry Nasser 性侵案(她是指控者之一)及种族主义等,都是一些沉重与阴暗的话题,所以照片刻意塑造阴沉和平淡的颜色与色调,呼应主题。
These comments are shocking; they entirely miss the creative direction and storytelling here. The story alongside these is about a dark, challenging time with Nasser/US Gymnastics and racism. As a photographer I think they’re very strong, as is she: https://t.co/GFZHtSajsy
