But agreed... budget helps a lot in the heavily produced stuff that gained her the most public recognition. Not crazy about the big ol' shadow of a scrim and a C stand in that Sting shot... I know my clients wouldn't overlook that. Well, I’m gonna stick my neck out and say I loved her work in Rolling Stone and the American Express campaign.

A true creative can make something out of nothing. Chessie, I often wonder if people are just so star struck at seeing a famous subject in an elaborate set that they fool themselves into thinking there is something more there.

What connection could I possible feel with a naked and air brushed Demi or Sting? When I look at her work, I see she's worked hard to create a set and a seduction...but frankly, I don't feel like I'm anything more than a voyeur... In fact...I think the work is voyeuristic...I don't feel much warmth transmitted from the subject to the viewer (or the lens) at all.

As I've said in person, this is a great parallel to our lives in advertising: anyone can be creative with unlimited resources. It's producing creative work under restrictions (often financial) that make us true professionals. I stopped feeling sorry for famous artists with financial woes a long time ago. She's had every opportunity to earn a good living and provide for herself indefinitely. I’ve never found her work very interesting, either.
