I love this photoshoot, I still have the magazine in a special place
That fierceness he has in that photo is just so intensely sexy, just how mature he is so stunningly handsome.This one is one of my faves from the shoot. The energy with the stillness at the centre. He looks wild and yet so focused and still and intense. Manly and mysterious.
And so beautiful.

Mm, yes, indeed. I'm gonna go out on a limb here (I'll probably get thrown off the thread, lol). I'm not keen on the photos from the Annie Liebovitz (sp?) photoshoot. I don't generally like her portraits, anyway. But the Michael ones seem especially stilted and, I dunno, just not relaxed. There is no flow to them. With these, I can see the energy flowing, Michael looks much more engaged in the process. They are sexy and somehow kinda formal and yet joyous and free and lighthearted and free-flowing all at once. I think we see so many moods in these shots. Which is basically my longwinded way of saying, I agree with every point you made here!
Do you mean these photos? Yeah, I don't love them myself. I just posted one on Manhood the other day cos I just needed a BIG input of mature Michael. But, yeah, mixed feelings about these, for sure. They look ever so airbrushed which I don't like. I'd rather see Michael as he was even if that's not 'perfect' (a debate could be had about what that even means).
I quite like the styling of these even though I think they are overstyled (I do this, I contradict myself all the time. It's my thing, lol).
This photo here, I love his stance, his attitude. And he looks lovely but also too distanced, too removed. I find it harder to connect to these photos. But he looks beautiful and elegant and classy. I don't return to these photos over and over. I'm always pleased to see them when I come across them but I don't seek them out and I usually don't post them, either.
Michael in gold and black any day. The form fitting jacket looks so good on him.
Exactly. I think, same era but different shoot. This is one of those photos from the shoot where he's singing to Billie Jean and, er, pole dancing. Am I right? I think I am. There's a whole series of shots, like frame-by-frame so you get the sense of him dancing and moving. I love them. I think this photo is one of those although the images that are used don't usually include this one, where he's kicking his leg up in the air.
That's it. Thank you so much. Those are the photos I was thinking of. I love his hair, I love that shirt he's wearing, I love the movement in these photos.
Oh my word where has my brain been?! Hahaha dear I thought I responded to this....*blinks erracticaly*
Or am I thinking also about Stranger in Moscow...but anywho yes we must hunt for those lol absolutely gorgeous.
