IS BEAUTY ARROGANT?

2008.04.16





A very famous Company, a very famous top model, the wild beach of Capocotta (close to the place where I live) and I was called to shoot on the set...
I did my assignement, the Marketing Manager was satisfied but I was not...
The point is: why some beautiful top models are so arrogant and silly?
Can you feel it through my lens?

Cabecilha Beauty, per se, is not arrogant; it can be disturbing or even intimidating sometimes.

What happens is that some beautiful people are arrogant themselves and more often than not it's due to shyness!

Maybe you were still angry because of the elections!? :)

tbranscum When beauty is arrogant, it turns to ugly. Not all that and a bag of chips! lol

kretz for some people..beauty means power..but very few know how to control this power,and so they tend do be controlled by the power..and this is how arrogance appears..or at least that's my opinion!

BreezyOnTheEyes especailly in the second shot. do you SEE the look she is giving that man!? this is what she is saying in her head "are you kidding me? i'm fabulous and you are who?"

very interesting set.

DancingDolphin I think the answer is "sometimes". I don't think it's about beauty... "some" wealthy people are arrogant, "some" intelligent people are arrogant, "some" people who have certain skills or expertise are arrogant, "some" street people are arrogant. That's MY 2 cents! :-)

TIM927 beauty in itself is not arrogant,,,we make them this way I guess..
TIM927 · 2008-04-16: 16:14
BlueLady I don't think beauty is arrogant. I think foolish people, who think that their brittle beauty will last forever, are arrogant...

icewomanfirst Sarà anche arrogante, ma gli scatti sono belli :)

mattandbranson I think these images are lovely... Sorry you didn't get a more cooperative subject!

GnatBytes I do not feel it, but see it and understand. Some people just think they fly high above the rest.

jenjung i guess when you get everything you want and everyone does as you tell them to that's what happens.

Photomessage Oh, it might be! People are made by reactions to the actions!
Great set! :):)

AiseAyar hmm.. interesting.. maybe she was playing arrogant for the shoot.. because that looks sells..

nice shots..
i like that they are black n white
AiseAyar · 2008-04-18: 16:36
Martin sara' anche una bella donna , ma non basta . Vada a scuola dalle splendide Laura Morante ,Fanny Ardant , C. Deneuve, dalle belle e intelligenti G. Mezzogiorno e V. Placido, dalla ironica ed autoironica affascinante musa di Verdone in " maledetto il giorno che ti ho incontrato.."M Buy.E poi, perche' non imparare bene l' italiano e parlarlo decentemente ? Non ci riesce ?
Martin · 2008-04-18: 21:16
mintra Yes I can.
Perhaps because they know they are pretty, still I agree there's no need to be.
Wonderful BW post, my friend.
:)

agandia Beautiful, very beautiful!!!!

Martin Classico oggetto di importazione che i provinciali ammirano.E tu te la fili pure ? Spero solo per ragioni di lavoro.Che avrebbe fatto di tanto importante nella vita la signorina in questione a parte qualche pubblicita' ? Arrogante ? Direi in linea con la parte peggiore dei tempi che viviamo , nei quali il primo cretino che partecipa al grande fratello di canale 5 ha diritto di parola . Preferisco i gechi o i suricatta . Li hai mai visti ? Splendidi ,intelligenti , affascinanti ,direbbe Jane Goodall .Lei si gran donna e pesrsona speciale . E soprattutto , anche potendo permetterselo , mai arrogante . D'altro canto ,e' una donna intelligente .

sandmoon wealth, fame and beauty tend to make people feel special, different and therefore superior to the 'masses'. unfortunately, this arrogance is not attractive at all, in the contrary. and you can feel this through your lens indeed. nice portraits by the way!
on the other hand, a beautiful mind, a beautiful spirit can be much more attractive than a symmetrically perfect face. but may not sell the products of a luxury brand very well LOL
sandmoon · 2008-04-22: 04:36
dadlak she's certainly confident--a quality sought in top models...I don't know about arrogant...that seems like a judgement rather than an observation to me.
