Mark Jacobs’ Photographer Refused to Shoot Miley
Queen of twerk Miley Cyrus recently scored her first major campaign with Mark Jacobs where she will be featured in the moodily lit Spring 2014 campaign. But not all seem ecstatic to take her picture as one of Mark Jacobs' photographers refused to shoot her.
Mark Jacobs' photographer Juergen Teller reportedly refused to photograph Miley Cyrus for her Spring 2014 ad campaign. "I have worked with Juergen for years and love him as an artist," says Jacobs in Women's Wear Daily. "He just didn't want to shoot her."
One of Jacobs' trusted photographer, Teller is the man behind most of Mark Jacobs' ad campaign but it's the photographer's choice not to shoot the "Wrecking Ball" singer. Teller has captured numerous celebs in the past and countless Mark Jacobs ad campaign including Victoria Beckham, Dakota Fanning and Sofia Coppola.
So instead of Teller, David Sims filled in and captured Miley along with two other female models on the sandy shore.The ad campaign features Miley sporting an embroidered jacket and custom black sneakers, alongside models Natalie Westling and Esmeralda Seay Reynolds on a beach set styled by Stefan Beckman. Sims brought the moodiness in the campaign and captured Miley's model side.
"We wanted this beach with the girls kind of sulky and broody, and we thought it would be cool if it was Miley with what could be two friends, feeling distant and quite dark," Jacobs explained in an interview posted in E!online.
"We all just love her and her entire being, her talent, her intelligence, everything. There's nothing I don't like about her. She is just genuine and very natural," says Miley-obsessed Jacobs.
There is no doubt that Jacobs is one big fan of the Queen of twerk but it's no secret as well that Cyrus is a big fan of the fashion designer. Both celebrities shared an admiration to each other as Miley posed naked for Jacobs' "Protect the Skin You're In" t-shirt campaign, in support of the NYU Skin Cancer Institute. Also last year, Miley wore his sheer mesh gown at the 2013 Met Gala in New York.
