And I'm not prude to nudity nor erotica but it really doesn't fit with VS for some reason. And they seem to keep on pushing the limits how naked they can get these girls. All with the fact that they're calling him "daddy" on the set and Ed being standard creep...it's just an odd vibe. I just don't think his work fits VS at all. Personal opinion. I agree I personally find Bellemare's style of photography stunning. He's one of my top favorites in terms of talent. He produces the most beautiful images VS has ever had IMO because of his particular use of lighting and color, But these type of risky photos are pretty much standard with your basic Instagram model. Maybe VS is trying to grab those of that fan-base. Which doesn't really make sense because the main success of VS models are their God-carved, stunning, angelic faces while the success of the IG models is for the most part their bodies. Just my observations.
May 20, 20168 yr Bellemere's work is the real deal, I have never seen a single model looking bad under his lense. I love him and I hope VS continues to push him and Russell stays away from VS as possible Shame Elsa is not at Cannes, not that I'm surprised but it would be nice to see her doing some events there. FML for liking a model who seems to be as antisocial as I am

FML for liking a model who seems to be as antisocial as I am I wished she had been there too, but someone pointed out that VS has been shooting all this week, so the only Angel there has been Lais. Taylor didn't even go to the premiere of the movie's she supposed to be in. I want to see Elsa at more events though. I enjoy seeing her glammed up, and her red carpet style is usually very unique. I really like Bellemere's work. Guy would be my favourite if most of his sets didn't have "filters" applied to them.

I'm definitely not against sexy or nude pictures because they can be absolutely stunning, yet classy. Good example of that (in my opinion) is that picture Russell James took of Candice and Lily together. Or if you look at his earlier work, backstage pictures of Adriana or Gisele, they became truly iconic pictures for VS. I'm not sure who of the models calls David "daddy" but that is kinda odd... Don't get me wrong though, he can take amazing pictures, but lately... It's a little over the top with the nudity/poses etc.
May 20, 20168 yr I personally think Bellemere's work is amazing, and the man is a master with the camera. I definitely wouldn't call his work soft core porn either. Risqué and sensual for sure, but if you ask me, that is how VS should be. Especially when it comes to lingerie. VS has way to much of the cheesy faux sexy crap in hopes of appealing to as many people as possible, while not offending anyone for being "to racy". This is the case so much so, that every time I see Bellemere's work for VS it's like a breath of fresh air, because it's so nice to actually see truly sexy photos where there should be truly sexy photos. It's not just sexy though, there is often so much raw sensual beauty in his work as well.
May 20, 20168 yr Quote Bellemere's work is the real deal, I have never seen a single model looking bad under his lense. I love him and I hope VS continues to push him... +1. Quote Guy would be my favourite if most of his sets didn't have "filters" applied to them. He uses more than one filter? All his photos have the same annoying orange-ish tint.
