the photos were likely meant to appear raw and untouched, even though they were likely touched up to some degree

photo shoots like this generate thousands of still images, so these were specifically chosen to convey a specific message...a peek behind the curtain, if you will

look at the fact that you see the clamps holding up the sheet in that one photo...you'd normally never seen something like that in a magazine of this caliber...just like how you'd normally never see Bey's natural hair or natural face

the cover photos and article photos fit, imo

that's what art is. you sometimes do what isn't expected...allow things to be unpolished

I love it. this kid did his thing
