A shoot that shows the impact the Gulf of Mexico oil spill has had on our ecological system. Steven Meisel delivers an artistic representation of the oil spill. Model Kirsten Mcmenny represents the pain and suffering the marine life are experiencing.
Below we express our opinions about this shoot:
Alisha
A cold, mysterious and hostile shoot that demonstrates the seriousness of the oil spills that have taken place. It is like a dark wave washed the woman up against the rocks along with a thick layer of oil.

The models are like metaphoric symbols of the marine life that are affected by the oil spill.
Vuyo
The Bp oil leak adds to one of the many more problems on our planet. Kirsten Mcmenamy is portrayed in an awful state. A strong feeling of abuse is brought about. The shoot has successful brought a feeling of shame to me. Yes, I realise that we are only sympathetic when something affects us directly. We have lost the sense of being sympathetic to others.

The photographs taken were beautiful in a not so beautiful way!? If u get what I mean. Contradicting more than anything. A man made filthy disaster met by the expensive an exclusive haute couture, clothing which must have travelled a long distance to get to the shoot, a lot of money was put into this!
Conclusion
The reason this was such a controversial shoot is due to the fact that many of the animal activists believed that Vogue used this as a platform to advertise the fashion garments produced by Ralph Lauren. Across the world this was seen as a serious issue. We believe the shoot was successful in portraying the emotion however those outside the fashion world believe Vogue did this for commercial reasons
