(NOT SO) MODEL CITIZEN

I love photography, especially really great portrait photography or fashion photography. None of that pretentious fashion bullshit that the cheaper magazines try and fail to do, but really good photos of really photogenic people. However, the process of taking the photos makes me cringe. How can someone be so narcissistic as to stand there and mince around really slowly in front of the camera whilst making sure their face says, 'Sex me' and their body says, 'Buy this shit'?

Take this kid (he's just turned 16, oh Jesus) for example. Hi Sylvester Ulv! You should be out tearing up the streets on your BMX/working a crappy Saturday job/illegally buying alcohol but instead you're getting your MAKE-UP done and pouting for Denmark. It's. Just. Not. Right.
