I don’t expect you to know who Gilles Bensimon is, but he is one of the more legendary fashion photographers, who I guess peaked in the 80s, when he was the creative director for Elle magazine…

He was married to people like Elle Macpherson, who is one of my favorites, and less interestingly, Kelly Bensimon, who got knocked up by him and who allowed her to go onto the exciting legacy of The Real Desperate Housewives of New York…

All this to say, he shot Candice Swanepoel, wet, in panties, looking amazing, because she is amazing…if fact she’s probably the best thing Victoria’s Secret has ever done…and I guess being a photographer since the 60s…shooting every fucking babe ever….makes you pretty capable of this kind of amazing..

But then again he only has 22,000 follower on instagram…that’s like nothing compared to all the photographers on instagram pushing millions of followers for their shitty, obvious, bottom feeding pictures…making me wonder if he really matters….or can even call himself a photographer…right?
