Watching the videos really made me feel at peace… weird. Anyone else? The sound of birds chirping, wind rustling through the trees and water flowing really set the tone for the shoot and the images. It was all so calm and serene.

That’s easily the case with a huge number of photographers that are well-established. At that level, it’s vision, not gear. I’m sure Lagerfeld knows how to set up a light, he just has the luxury of having assitants now to do that for him.

I wouldn’t be chimping if you have models in a vulnerable (nude) position in front of you.
He proves it’s about the vision, because his light is ridiculously simple. 1 light in front, and 1 in the back as a rim. Even a moron could set that up. The photos look amazing though because of the theme, styling and execution. And please don’t start with ‘I bet he had people photography the living shit out of those shots’

Look at his body of work before stating obviously and even more obnoxiously wrong comments. It says more about you than it does about him.

Of course his pictures would be on front covers, but not because of the quality of his work… Just because of his name!

That’s a cop out. This guy has been shooting top level for years. And its not about your lighting setups, its about your vision. I think he has proven for decades that he has an approved taste in fashion globaly. He is also a fashion photographer so its fitting. If you look at the link I posted and view all the pages you will see he has style and good taste.

Lighting, and work flow have very little to do with a good photo. Its much more than that. If you left him in a studio he would come out with images that appear on the front covers of Chanel ads, Dior ads, and fashion magazines. Because that’s already what he does.

I bet that if you’d leave him alone in a studio he wouldn’t know what to do and would end up with just a few snapshots.
It’s very easy when you have assistants setting up everything for you…

Link to Karl’s work. Those that don’t consider him a worthy or REAL photographer should have a review. I’m wagering to bet his skills are beyond the average or better than average shooter that may or may not post on these forums.

Go look at his body of work. I think you might take that comment back.

Sure…but how many times have you said to yourself…”I wish I had the shot a fraction of a second sooner or later.” I do that a lot, but I am very picky too.
