    Latest cover of Hello Magazine has a photo of Prince Harry and his girlfriend Chelsy. The photo of Chelsy is dreadful, are standards dropping ?
    What do you think ?

    Sure what do you expect from a glossy version of a tabloid full of self indulgent, fluff articles. Many of the photos are repetitive, generic photo shoots while the rest is usual trashy tabloid fodder.

    I wouldn't waste time worrying about it.

    Have you seen the photo ? Honestly I am not worried about it but it is not the usual high glam photo usually seen on the cover.

    There's one of Sandra Bullock and her son in the current issue of Hello that's shockingly bad. Loads of motion blur and oversharpened in an attempt to compensate. Can't find a link but if you have a look at the magazine you'll know which one I'm on about...

    i wouldn't worry personally... like looking at one fat girl and thinking all women are getting ugly...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,014 ✭✭✭Eirebear


    wow...really?

    Publications like "Hello" are responsible for wha we now know as "papparazi".

    Are standards slipping?

    No.

    That's how her face looks. She always goes over the top with the makeup and fake tan.

    Its a cheap issue there selling it for £1. maybe thats why the poor photos.

    That was my thinking looking at it. More like they didn't process the image and showed how terrible she can look.

    WHo cares anyhow? It's a magazine for numpties.

    I suspect that standards aint dropping but a carefully selected marketing strategy

    Prince Harry + Girlfriend Chelsey = lots of sales = £££££££££

    Its like the Irish tabloids - put a killer on the front page and sales go through the roof.

    I agree - pretty awful shot of lesser "quality" than what they normally produce.

    Can someone explain what the fuss is about ? The photo looks grand to me:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,756 ✭✭✭Thecageyone


    Same here.

    I think it's people are used to seeing more shiney glam images on those covers? That shot is just ... plain. Hardy terrible.

    Its a candid shot caught on the fly! no big lighting set up for the glam shots that they mostly put on the cover. Dont see the big deal........

    Covey, there is no fuss. I made an observation on a photo on the cover of a mag.
