Yeah he's good, but then again she didn't hire another photographer to follow her everywhere and document her personal life.

exactly. We just like these pics because they show Gaga backstage, getting ready, living her day to day life and such things, whereas other professional photos of her are in the context of planned photoshoots.
Other way more talented photographers could follow her around and deliver 1000x better results.
Still hoping she will work with somebody more along the lines of Beyoncé's tour photographers, they're the best!

suddenly it's decided, the winner is Nick KNight. He gets her and there's an interchange in the art process where she feeds him and he totally feeds her with the aesthetic and the world he lives in and represents

Perfectly described :applause:

I feel like he takes the abstract ideas from her head and turns them into a tangible world for her to perform in. He has such a great eye for composition, colors, texture, movement and never lets things get messy or sloppy. Even though he uses props and special effects, which is easy to lose your subject in, he still manages to capture her personality, soul and attitude.

If she was never photographed or filmed by anyone but him again, I'd be happy tbh :flutter:

Cold as ice cream, but still as sweet.

I dislike the man and will not support his work, but I do like quite a few of his shots.

I like his body of work with Gaga yeah. As for the best, it's a toss between Terry, Nick Knight and I&V. 

There are so many other great photographers though.  I hope she hires more female photographers as their perspective tends to be a bit different. Colier's shoot for T Magazine is fantastic. Annie Lebowitz is actually really good outside her commercial work.

This thread is about photography, everyone, not what Gaga does with her skin.

That said, the photographer of my avatar is her best photographer. It's not Testino right? I can't remember anymore.

I think if Gaga had a different photographer going around capturing candids, we'd be saying the same about them. However, those candids would be miles better probably.

raw, emotional but no particular talent that would stand out.

The thing is, from certain standpoints, even capturing a good looking candid is a sign of talent. However it's as much luck as it is talent or skill.

Candids will always be good, but they can be better.
