Netizens compared how two photographers differently captured BLACKPINK's Jennie in pictorials for Calvin Klein ads.
On September 11th, a post on a popular online community gained attention for comparing different styles of photographers. Introduced as the top two photographers in the industry, the original post compared photographer Hong Jang Hyun's pictures for Calvin Klein featuring Jennie to those of the photographer Kim Hee Joon.
The first three pictures of Jennie shown below are by Hong Jang Hyun and the bottom three pictures are by Kim Hee Joon.
The original poster also added Hong Jang Hyun has taken the famous Jennie's pictorial for Chanel's jewelry collection, while Kim Hee Joon has been continuously working with BLACKPINK for their album jackets, teasers, and pictorials.
Some of the comments by netizens include: "I think Hong Jang Hyun's pictures better show what product Jennie is wearing."
"I can see why they are both called the top two photographers in the industry."
"On another note, Kim Hee Joon seems to really like using bathtubs as objects."
"I think Kim Hee Joon's Jennie pictures capture Jennie's healthiness better."
"Hong Jang Hyun's pictures are better for advertisements."
"If I were a brand representative, I would hire Hong over Kim"
"I can't choose because Jennie looks stunning either way"
"lol, do y'all know Hong Jang Hyun taught Kim Hee Joon?"
"Kim Hee Joon has better synergy with Jennie"
What do you think?
Hong's pictures seem to be more about how the underwear actually looks on your body, Kim's seem to be a bit more abstract and try to capture how it makes you feel to wear them.
