ONTD Original: Juergen Teller Must Be Stopped
W Magazine has released their annual Best Performances issue, featuring photographs by Juergen Teller. It's gonna be a no from me, babe.
Who is Juergen Teller? He is a German fashion and fine art photographer who is frequently hired to shoot celebrities and models. Apparently "minimalism, beauty of imperfection, "amateur", humanizing" photography is his aesthetic. Like sure, I've been to art school, I can be pretentious sometimes, I've seen the 400 Blows, so I get it.
But this???

Steven, sweetie, I'm so sorry
Okay but first a disclaimer: He is a legit fashion photographer and hugely influential, blah blah fuckin' blah. Doesn't change fact that he's been acting up for years and I've had it, officially.
He's responsible for:

I'm a simple woman. Everyday I get up, I do my stupid little tasks, send my stupid little emails, and live my stupid little life as best I can in the midst of this pantyhose. One of my stupid little joys is looking at photos of hot people during awards season.
And this fool Juergen Teller has the audacity to do this?????
for 2020's best performances
In order, L-R: Awkwafina, Adam Sandler, Park So-dam, Florence Pugh, Chris Evans, Laura Dern
Top to Bottom: Charlize Africa, Elle Fanning
We don't accept it structurally and we don't accept it spiritually.
for 2014's best performances, aka the drug den edition
In order, L-R: Greta Gerwig, Amy Adams, Oprah (??), Jonah Hill, Yakub Yillenhaal, Jennifer Lawrence
Top to Bottom: Brie Larson, Lupita N'yongo
Top to Bottom: Shailene Woodley, Chiwetel Ejiofor
It's giving me "I just got my first camera and I took it to a college party and my friends are very artsy" teas
for 2013's best performances
I have a strong memory of the ontd post when these dropped, where the comments were like "everyone looks like they're hungover" "this is sketch" "i'm uncomfortable"
In order, L-R: Ben Whishaw, Daniel Dave Lewis, Ben "I Don't Know What to Do with My Hands" Affleck, Nicole Kidman, Phillip Seymour Hoffman (may he RIP), Jack Black
Top to Bottom: Matthias Schoenaerts, Kristen Stewart
Top to Bottom: Naomi Watts, Keira Knightley
There's a weirdly sexual energy to these? Like instead of a regular degular college party you got invited to an orgy and no one told you beforehand. Idk but my skin is crawling either way
Pictured: the man who invited you
In conclusion: bruh

if you saw this post before no you didnt❤️
also suggestion for an "awards season" tag, to collect press/pr during awards season that isn't necessarily for one specific show?
