>>4388822Her life and career are defined by trying to flex her status. She has no talent. She has no skill. She can't even edit her own photos. She pays other people to edit while she watches. She pays other people to "read her mind" with the lighting (read: she doesn't actually light the photos, her assistants do). She still presses the button of course, and look at how that worked out - the editing team can't always salvage tilted photos and cut off feet. Her entire life is defined with the words "I knew celebrities". So she has to keep knowing them forever. The very source of her relatively modest wealth is "I still know celebrities". If she does not project the lifestyle, she is absolutely fucking nothing. Nothing. Nada. Not even much of a photographer. Of course she would be embarrassed to use a brand with bodies that start under $5k. The wealth adjacent buy up more luxury shit than the wealthy because they are a fundamentally insecure group.
Honestly, if you walked on set you could borrow her flash trigger, tell the assistants business as usual and shoot better than annie leibovitz. More actual good and significant photos of the famous have been taken by the actual famous people that annie is adjacent to - using film PNS boxes.
