Most people seem to light her for glamour (curves), or she is photographed in relatively generic lighting, therefore inadvertently softening the appearance of muscle lines on her physique.

For women, unless body fat is very, very low, definition easily disappears in photographs, or is flattened by non-specific lighting.

Snicker tongue  Hey Gary, a model is teaching you about photography yikes  Funny, I've never seen one do that before neutral RIGHT!!!!!

Shot dancers who complained that my lighting did not show enough definition.

These horrible images of Beyonce were discussed at length on a concert photographers forum I belong to.  The general consensus is that photographers don't generally put such atrocious looking images out there.  I've shot concerts as far back as 30 years ago, and I would NEVER put pieces of crap like that out there! 

Every person on this earth can take a bad photograph, but it takes special effort of make Beyonce look that bad.  I'm sure many photographers at the Superbowl had better images than that.  It's the paparazzi style of TMZ that has made the art of shooting crap images such a popular thing.  The worse you can make a celebrity look, the higher the pay for paparazzi.

Every concert I've ever shot at, I've had some bad images.  I would have deleted those images and kept trying to get more complimentary images.  Any photographer who can't get a decent shot of Beyonce is extremely lame!  That photographer who shot those will not be invited back to Beyonce's shows!  lol

Such hate!!!  lol


Over a 30 year period of time, I've shot thousands of concerts!  I wouldn't show you my worst images.  It takes a great deal of effort to make Beyonce look that bad, or for that matter, most any of the models we shoot on a regular basis.  I've shot some musicians that were not all that attractive, but I did my best to make them look better than they really did in most cases.  That is how  I get invited back by the publicists.  Again, the embarrassed person should be the photographer for putting crap images out there!  lol

How do you know this photo was post edited to look this way from a raw file. You can turn any photo into a post edit like the one you show.
Sending all the files doesn't always mean all the raws.

It is sad however that people waste there editing talents on trying to make others look bad.

And another thing. It is one of the reason some entertainment venues do not allow cameras at there show. This stunt just made them right!

If your cable provider provides a DVR, you can pause any person on any show at any moment and catch thousands of really unflattering images. Images frozen from video or high speed camera shots catch the 'in-between' transitional horrible half n half faces and such. poor Beyonce----victim of technology.

I didn't realize that photojournalists were now required to have their images approved by publicists...

I think that this goes far outside the what a photojournalist is.
This is taking a photo of someone famous and altering that photo to make that person look bad to get fame off of defaming somebody else.

My understanding of photojournalism is to capture the truth with absolutely no bias.
Some of the best captures of photojournalist are from photographers that are unknown hero's. If you are looking for fame and fortune, You would not be a photojournalist.
This really is a tragedy. It is a black eye to photography!
Every time I see this photo I feel embarrassed for everyone involved!
It is very wrong and in no way supports the "in the name of art"! It makes a joke of it.

The original photos (not the photoshopped meme photos) were indeed photojournalism. The photographers were there to cover an event (the Superbowl, plus all the hooha surrounding it). Just as a quick glance, I know the names of several of the photographers who had images pulled by Getty and they are talented photographers who I feel confident provided images which presented a realistic view of what happened on that stage.

I can also categorically say, a Photojournalist who uses photoshop to change the content or meaning of an image will be shunned and generally cast out of the industry. PJ ethics don't even allow the removal of distracting elements in the background (a photographer was fired 2 years ago for removing distracting shoes from the background). No element inside the frame can be added or removed. In general, photographers are limited to adjusting contrast, color, dodging/burning, etc... provided it does not change the meaning or content of an image (there was a controversy last year about a photographer who changed the color balance which changed the emotional tone of an image). When a change is made outside of that narrow guideline, it is generally required to labeled a "photo illustration".

I have worked and do work as a Photojournalist. When covering an event, my job is not to provide "pretty pictures". My job is to tell a story. For mass media events like this, it also involves providing images which are different than what everyone else took. To look for different insight. For sports, that often means blood, mud, tears or some really goofy expressions. Ultimately, it isn't up to me whether a particular image runs or not, it is up to the editor and publisher of the paper. All I can do is capture the images and give them options for the story they wish to tell (which sometimes isn't the same story I saw when I captured the images).

I take it you're unfamiliar with Arnold Newman's photo of Alfried Krupp for Newsweek.
