Mr S 7,605 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 But in the week before the release of her 30th September issue for American Vogue, which she has led since 1988, there was further speculation to address. Reports alleging that cover star Beyoncé Knowles had full editorial control over her feature spread like wildfire. Think pieces followed. Had Knowles single-handedly ushered in Vogue’s first ever African-American cover photographer? Not quite. “The concept and the photographer was entirely Vogue’s, specifically Raul’s,” said Wintour, who spoke to BoF with Condé Nast creative director Raul Martinez. He said he first became aware of the 23-year-old photographer Tyler Mitchell when he photographed gun control activists for a Teen Vogue digital cover in March, and then became more acquainted with his work at the photography studio and exhibition space Red Hook Labs through Jimmy Moffat, a mentor to the young photographer.

Mitchell was already known to Knowles’ record label Parkwood Entertainment, too, and had photographed her sister Solange Knowles. Martinez said Beyoncé Knowles was thrilled with the choice. When he telephoned Mitchell to share the news, the young photographer thought it was a prank. His next thoughts were purely practical. “So when are we shooting?” Mitchell’s own family did not know about the project until the news leaked last week. https://www.businessoffashion.com/articles/news-analysis/american-vogues-september-issue-leaks-rumours-and-making-history Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does it say Bey took credit for anyone’s ideas? All of the articles leading up to this only said it was rumored. No one had confirmed or denied anything.

GypsyBabe 22,836 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Anna should have just gone with the Beyoncé was in charge rumour so that the unimpressive photo’s wouldn’t be traced back or blamed on Vogue. A shame because the photographer is quite talented. Were her fans responsible for spreading that rumor? Because I legitimately thought that it was true... ⚯͛ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally believed the rumor and was hyped, but I couldn’t remember if I had read it from any true sources.

Gypsy Life 118,907 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 We're talking about the same person who had a bunch of white men write a full album about black culture for her to sing about. How's that shocking that she has no creative control Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
