[drbat]

Sam Smith was photographed by Zhong Lin for the new issue of Perfect Magazine.

They have received both praise and criticism for the shoot, with one person writing “People only ever wanna hear about empowerment and body positivity as long as it fits into their image but as soon as somebody takes these words actually into action… pow! there goes

Yeah, I think Sam looks great, but the picture quality looks cheap. Like I think the stying team and the lighting could have done better

the photography isn't bad but the styling team dropped the ball. they should have gotten an actual bondage professional to tie the ropes properly because this just looks sloppy af.

Edit: now i see that they hired Michaela Stark whose work I’m actually a big fan of but she shines the most when she performs body morphing on herself. This is not it.

Where’s the Fury Road Tom Hardy this is bait clip when you need it. LOL. Real talk, these pictures and the photo shoot look so cheap and low budget. And I don’t think of Sam Smith when I think of body positivity - they always seem uncomfortable and insecure.

And people say Madonna is desperate for people to pay attention...

An artists doing a photo shoot to promote their new music and Madonna doing poppers, drinking from dog bowls and squatting over a bottle of Sriracha in her bathroom are not the same thing🙄

And this shoot is obviously a fuck you to those who have been body shaming them

I'm not even going to pretend otherwise - I zoomed in!

Sam looks sexy.

One of those Jenners really ruined "running paint" for me.

none of these outfits are flattering, but if they felt like a super hot bad bitch, then good.
