I have no idea what is going on in these. The photos were published in Vogue and shot by renowned photographer Mario Testino...but they're terrible. Keira Knightley is beautiful, but apparently not a talented model as she looks extremely stiff (WHAT is she doing in the second picture?!) and her face seems off in every single image. The backdrop looks like it could be found in a WalMart photo center, and lighting is terrible. There is nothing exciting or intriguing about these, and it looks like minimal effort was put into the shoot. The clothes are all beautiful, and I could see the gowns in the first and last photos creating extremely dramatic images, but instead they are wasted on a girl standing in front of an ugly blue wall who doesn't seem to understand the concept of movement. It's a shame Testino wasted the opportunity to capture some amazing clothes in an exciting way, but it just shows that you need a lot more than pretty clothes to make a sensational fashion image.
