Week Six BOC: Bruce Weber


BRUCE WEBER




Bruce Weber is a celebrity photographer who has worked for an unlimited amount of well known brands. A few examples are Abercrombie and Fitch, Ralph Lauren, and Vogue. Webers work has caused much controversy due to its content. Much of Bruce Webers photography is not necessarily pornographic is what is called "homoerotic." Homoeroticim is Concerning or arousing sexual desire centered on a person of the same sex. However, regardless of the innaproproat and shocking images, it's hard to deny that Weber is a talented photographer.


Bruce Weber first gained attention for his images in the 1980s shooting for Calvin Klein. The public loved his black and white toned images. Weber is most famous for his work with Abercrombie and Fitch. The sexy pictures of attractive young men and women bring much attention to the Abercrombie brand. Weber also produced a file titled “Chop Suey”; the named relating to the film showcasing a mix and variety of all his work. Along with his photography, Bruce Weber also does film work for music videos. Weber has produced videos for Pet Shop Boys and Chris Isaac.


My personal opinion of Bruce Weber is that he is great and talented photographer. In fact, I would be more than happy to model and shoot with him (as long as he let me keep my clothes on). I’ll agree that some of his images make me slightly uncomfortable, but I also find many of his images beautiful and pleasing to look at. I think his style fits the brand that use his images for their advertising.
