Anton Corbijn takes official portraits of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and gets criticized by Koss Breukel, the pictures are seen as … well, not what could be expected. Perhaps that is what this post at Rood Petje’s blog is about. I wouldn’t know, I don’t understand Dutch.
Pictures in the usual Corbijn style wouldn’t fit in the genre “famous photographers takes official colour portraits of royalty” - Cecil Beaton and all that -, so criticizing Corbijn for not delivering the great heavy b&w we all love him for is, I think, a bit strange. But let’s make a thought experiment; who knows, Corbijn might have slipped an A12 loaded with Tri-X in after the colour stuff was done?
Don’t think so.
There are a lot of critics at the photos Corbijn made of the Queen. You made a good translation
But the critics are that he didn’t make a real Corbijn photo. The photos he took are pretty boring actually. We would love to see a real grainy Corbijn photo of the Queen.
