IFWT_Beckham-Burberry

Victoria and David Beckham’s 16-year-old son Brooklyn is making his mark in the fashion industry and not too many people are feeling it. Burberry hired the inexperienced photographer to shoot their new fragrance campaign, and more experienced photographers are calling it nepotism.

Beckham who broke into the fashion industry as a model, following in the footsteps of his parents, decided that he no longer wants to be in front of the camera. He even turned down acting roles to pursue his current passion, photography.

Other photographers who would have possibly done well in the roll says hiring the eldest of the Beckham children devalue’s the training and skill that they all have worked so hard for.

Burberry CEO Christopher Bailey said this about the choice to use Brooklyn,

Brooklyn has a really great eye for image and Instagram works brilliantly for him as a platform to showcase his work. His style and attitude were exactly what we wanted to capture in the spirit of this new Brit fragrance campaign and I am loving the shots of today’s live shoot which looks incredible.
