Nepotism Bullshit: Brooklyn Beckham Sucks at Photography

Brooklyn Beckham might have shot leading fashion campaigns and even published a book on photography — but he’s struggling to get the basics right on his internship.

David and Victoria’s 20-year-old son has landed a role as legendary photographer Rankin’s intern — but has left his colleagues stunned by his lack of basic skills.

Brooklyn has struggled with even the easiest jobs and is having to be treated like a total novice.

“Everyone knew Brooklyn’s work needed fine-tuning but no one knew his knowledge of the simplest tasks was so off,” a source told The Sun’s Bizarre column.

“Everyone had high hopes for him but it’s not been the most impressive start.

“He’s lacking in most areas. But he’s trying to make up for it in enthusiasm.”

Brooklyn was given his first camera by dad David when he was finding school “frustrating” and taking pictures soon became his “obsession.”

He released a book of his photography in 2017 called “What I See.”

It featured blurry shots of Brooklyn and his family at everything from A-list parties to luxury holidays.

The book was soon panned by critics and dismissed as a vanity project by many.

But the criticism hasn’t dampened his career — instead, he has won contracts shooting for major fashion designers.

In 2016 at the tender age of 17, Brooklyn shot Burberry’s fragrance campaign.

A source close to the Beckhams told The Sun at the time: “People will think he’s only got the job because of his rich parents but he doesn’t take anything for granted. He knows he’s lucky.”

He has also gone on to photograph “Game of Thrones’” Sophie Turner and his model girlfriend, Hana Cross.

But on his latest internship, things aren’t going quite so well.

“Luckily, no one has asked him to make the tea yet but some have been tempted. It’s become a bit of a joke,” a source said.

A second insider said throughout those shoots he needed help with “the lighting and setting up of the shots. It’s basic stuff.”

They added: “Brooklyn’s best at pressing the button on the camera.”

Is that really a surprise? He basically started at the top thanks to nepotism and a professional support system that made him look like he's delivering good, decent enough, work. He never really learned how to be a professional photographer.

I don't understand, if your kid has a passion and you have resources, why wouldn't you want to make sure they get the actual training they need? A lofty resume where he can't do shit doesn't help anything.

We are set for a weird celebrity generation of kids of the famous, who literally have no personality, no looks and no talent. Each one getting fast tracked to extreme positions and opportunity because they are already famous names, due to their parents whoring the whole family in the spotlight.

As a young teenager, Brooklyn Beckham also got signed to Arsenal’s under 16’s. It was then strangely never mentioned again! I’m guessing his football skills were as good as his photography skills.

by Anonymousreply 30July 11, 2019 8:49 AM

R29 He really is the product of bullshit celebrity. Victoria Beckham was the Spice Girl that couldn’t sing and Beckham was a good footballer, but he wasn’t this ‘George Best’ talent the media portrayed him as. It was actually him getting together with Victoria Adams that made him so well known. The Spice Girls were huge at that time. She then set about making them this ‘brand’ by turning up anywhere they’d get photographed. But as people David and Victoria Beckham are not ‘star material’, or even naturally attractive. They are now just the product of huge wealth and media exposure.

So there isn’t any magic stardust to trickle down on their kids. There are no natural looks to inherit, a personality or some amazing talent to be refined. You will only get less than went before, but with the added turn off of rich kid entitlement.

Considering his chosen hairstyle I have to think Brooklyn is somewhat dim witted.

Right @R31. He's too entitled and stupid to understand he has to apply himself to something other than pouty selfies and partying I find him boring he lacks a personality at least Rocco Ritchie is experimental with his wardrobe and is a mixed media artist, he seems feisty he'll have a better future than the Beckham brat.

David Beckham not attractive? The biggest reason, besides his footballing skills, why he became a huge star was his gorgeous face. He was sexy as fuck, especially when he became a metrosexual.

by Anonymousreply 43July 11, 2019 1:26 PM

Has that kid every taken a class in photography? Photography is hard because it requires you to have BOTH artistic AND technical skills. You need the creative sense to find the most interesting and flattering angle of view. Then you need the technical skill to choose the best lens for your desired creative goal. Then, there's the lighting. Entire semester-long classes are dedicated to lighting, including using a camera flash, strobe lights, diffusing equipment, etc...

You can't just buy an expensive DSL camera, set it to auto, and expect to have great art.

R45, calm down. I made the same mistake as R22. I'm not an aficionado of celebrities' talentless kids. It's been so long since I saw a pic of Rocco, I just assumed that his vain mother had paid for a makeover, including plastic surgery and laser resurfacing for his skin.

R34. By the time that photo was taken Victoria was using her Spice millions to turn David into her own Ken Doll. Notice he’s got the famous highlights.

However, a couple of years earlier (prior to meeting Victoria) and the same age as Brooklyn is now, David looked like this!
