Mario Testino’s Brangelina Shoot

Here are some scans from Mario Testino’s Let Me In! with some lovely photos of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Zahara Jolie-Pitt, and Maddox Jolie-Pitt. Sadly, there are no pictures of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt or Pax Jolie-Pitt, but I’m not sure exactly when these pictures were taken. Anyone know for sure? I’m figuring they were quite awhile before Pax was adopted and also before Shiloh was born because Maddox and Zahara both look so young (especially Maddox!).
Regardless, they are awesome pictures. Keep reading for the rest!
This one is a killer. Absolutely gorgeous.

These are great pics. I believe these were done just after Brad and Angie hooked up. I love the second pic of them staring into each others eyes. I almost makes you feel like you can tell that they were falling in love with each other or wanted to rip each others close off :). I would love to have a pic like that.

These shots are breath-taking! The one Angie and Brad gazing at each other is pretty much the graphic view of their deep relationship. I agree that when the pictures were taken, the family has only Mad and Z.

Brad and Jennifer separated in January 2005 and divorced that August. Brad and Angelina were not officially together post-Jennifer until they were photographed on their Kenya beach trip around April 2005; Maddox was 3. Zahara was adopted July 7, 2005, at age 5 months, and was small and ill. Here Maddox looks about 4, and Zahara looks close to 1 year; so I would guess that would date the photos late 2005-early 2006, less than a year after Brad and Angelina were officially a couple. However, Shiloh was born May 27, 2006, and Angelina does not look pregnant. Pax was not adopted until mid-March 2007.
Therefore, these photos have to be late 2005, before Angie was showing that she was pregnant with Shiloh, somewhere between Sept-Dec 2005, which would be about 6-9 months into her relationship with Brad (assuming they did not get together until April 2005!)

The first/top photo is beautiful.
The composition is very simple. All are dressed in black. They are all dressed simply, casually. The background, the scenery, is non-descript. The lighting is such that everyone’s skin is glowing; their colors are rich and vibrant.
As well, the only person looking at the camera is BP: the dad, the father, the anchor, the rock, the protector. He is all smiles and stability while the rest of his family is joyfully and happily engaged with other things whilst being photographed. It is a perfect photo.

Maybe I’m delirious, but I swear a few months ago I looked through this book at a bookstore or saw a review of it in the media, including some photos - and it’s getting publicity only now.
I doubt any of the photos are photoshopped - Mario Testino is a top world photographer on the same level as Annie Leibovitz, Steve Klein, etc. I don’t believe they photoshop their work.

Yes, Lori, the photos themselves are old, which is obvious considering how young Maddox and Zahara are in them. The book, however, is not old.

=================================
lori,
I came upon this site about two or three weeks ago. I knew very little–still do–about BP and AJ and their children. As a matter of fact, until coming here, I did not know that they had adopted a second boy! I thought that they only had three children, not four. That is how far removed I am from the celebrity milieu. Since I rarely shop in places that sell the tabloids and I haven’t watched television in about six years, I am unaware of what is happening in the world of Hollywood.
With that said, I did play “catch-up” with the Jolie-Pitt story by viewing about 70% of the posts in this website. Not only that, I read many of the comments that accompanied those posts. You should know that not all of the comments are praiseworthy or worshipful; although, the vast majority of them are–sickly and scarily so, I might add. (Someone mentioned going to New Orleans to visit their home there. Egad! That is a tad stalkerish, don’t you think? And, the many commenters who profess to know the emotional states of AJ, BP and their children–simply from viewing photos!)
I have read quite a few comments that are a bit racist (towards the adopted children), and one commenter stated that their daughter, Shiloh, is autistic. (The commenter made that diagnosis based on Shiloh’s “behaviour” from the paps snaps, when Shiloh was in a shared carriage with her sister in New Orleans!) I have also read comments wherein it is stated that BP couldn’t possibly love the adopted children; that AJ snagged BP, that he doesn’t really love her, that he is with her only for Shiloh’s sake; that AJ is disingenuous regarding her charity work, that she only does it for the publicity; etc. All of the aforementioned were allowed to appear on this website.
As I have said, I don’t “know” this couple and their family. One can never know who they are just from viewing papparazzi photos. I have posted only three comments on this website, none of which have gushed over them. My comment on this post actually praises the photographer’s work. One of my other comments was a quote from an interview that BP gave to Parade magazine, wherein he stated how bothersome it is to be constantly harrassed by the papparazzi and its [negative] effect on his children.
In my opinion, I think that the only photographs that we should see of them are when they appear for public events, or those which they sanction, of their family, for public viewing (such as the ones above). Their children should be unknown to us. But, alas, that genie has been let out of the bottle, and their ain’t no getting her back in at this date.
Just as the pappi killed lady Di, there is a good chance, if they don’t let up, that they will, metaphorically speaking, kill BP and AJ’s relationship, thus destroy their family. The constant tabloid exposure is definitely hurting their careers: They are over-exposed to the public, with the exception of the small percentage of the public who are die-hard fans. That over-exposure has made the non-fan public sick-and-tired of seeing their mugs, wherein they stay away from the theatres showing their movies.

I have looked at this site for just a few short months now and I enjoy the pictures, I look at Just Jared for the latest pictures but don’t read the comments as I do here. I have my opinions and they don’t always agree with the rosey cutsey ones that are approved of on here. I do think that Brad and Angie truely love each other. I don’t think there is anything wrong with Shiloh, I used to wonder if she was slow in her developmental skills but I think she is just a passive, easy going quiet child. As far as Brad goes with his children, I think in this case he loves the adopted ones even more than his only biological child. I think Zahara is his favorite and Maddox is the second favorite child.
I think he is a good and loving father to all of them. I myself don’t know this family personally, I only speculate and form my opinions by interviews and yes, some pictures.
I think Angie is not happy to be in one place and will not settle in one home. I think Brad is more of a homebody but will go along with whatever she wants, she is definately the stronger one in the family.
I do see them adding more adopted children and the world will be a better place because of it. Lives will be saved and they will be helping third world countries probably for the rest of their lives.
I do think the majority of people on here will only see the Good in this family and some are even obsessed with them.
I am sure you will enjoy this site for a long time to come.
I am surprised to hear that the Sherry did not delete any comments that were negative in any way towards them or about them, even if not mean spirited, if not praising them I don’t think any comments would be allowed to be voiced.

lori,
I don’t know if your comment is an insult or a compliment. Nonetheless, I shall take it as neither.
In my [perhaps] round-about and long-winded way, my reply to your comment was to inform you, that in my opinion, as an objective “outsider”, that Sherry does allow criticism—-even criticism that is hurtful, unfair, unwarranted, and mean-spiritied—-to appear on “her” website. She seems pretty fair, to me.
Now, it just kind of gets me to wondering what your comment was/is that Sherry would deem it unacceptable to appear?

My comments which will not always be glorifying this couple would be the ones deleted as has been more than once, I don’t see that happening to you.

I’m one of Angelina’s strongest fans & I don’t hesitate to defend Angelina from what, IMO, is unfair criticism or say what I don’t agree with. But I (& others) haven’t had all my/our comments posted here, so I don’t think Lori or anybody else who have unflattering things to say about Angelina are being singled out and censored, anymore than I’m being censored for being such a strong supporter. I can’t make heads or tails about what gets moderated or not, I feel that too many of mine have - most have appeared on the threads eventually, some not. I emailed Sherry some time back and she explained that the moderators are flagged when certain words & patterns pop up. I don’t curse or call people names, long posts are sometimes moderated and sometimes not. I still can’t figure it out - I’ve just learned to go with the flow.

lori, considering some of the unfavorable things that have been mentioned on the comments sections, Sherry has exercised a lot of tolerance and maturity. There are still plenty of unflattering comments floating around in past posts. And come on, even Faryal’s irrelevant and non-sensical messages are still alive. I would think Sherry would have deleted those if she only approved of “flattering” comments. So, I think boogaloobaby has it right. I have had my posts await moderation and with some of them not posting, but I just decided to pick my battles. And it may not seem right to you that it seems only “flattering” posts are popping up on the comments area, but it would only seem that way because this is a fan site. You really won’t come across that many dissensions. So, don’t take it too personally if some of your comments aren’t posted. It’s difficult to run a website. Believe me it’s not that easy (just earlier in the year, I had to run a usability test to test the efficiency of a website, and that involved plenty of research), and yet Sherry comes through for many of us, especially for some of us who visit the regular gossip blogs and have to resist reading disturbing comments against the JP family. I like this website because it is harmonious for the most part. It’s the one place we won’t be hassled by haters.

This is a fan site. So I’m totally fine with the fans here being in any stage - from idolizing Brangelina forever and ever and believing Angelina & Brad can do no wrong to a more measured admiration accepting them as humans, not idols, and commenting on what we think are their mistakes. I think each person’s feelings are valid, it’s personal. Obviously, different people will feel differently. I think we can respect those differences, agree to disagree - we’re not trying to convert each other.
Where some people think they’re being silenced because they’re critical, they seem to want others silenced – or speak of them critically - because the posters are unabashed fans.

To me, fandom is a lot like love/lust, being BFF, or any other relationship. The relationship goes in stages: 1st, the one I love/like/admire/lust after is absolutely perfect in every way, the most beautiful/sexiest/flawless/successful/funny/inteligent etc. person in the whole world. After a bit, the rose-colored glasses clear up a bit and I allow myself to notice that my beloved is only 99%, 90%, 75% perfect. Then I notice they’re human like me and have a lot of same flaws as me, and I love them as a real human, not an ideal. Many times, people make big mistakes - unfaithful, unethical, criminal, etc. I haven’t had to face that yet but many couples have. I idolized Gandhi, Eisenhower, Martin Luther King Jr., John and Robert Kennedy. Gandhi literally slept (non-sexually?) with young girls; it’s hard for me to believe it was non-sexual, but maybe it was. Ike, Martin, John & Robert were unfaithful - I was deeply disillusioned. In a more mature moment I realized that the principles all four men stood for were much bigger than their human weaknesses and were not negated by their mistakes (e.g., the baby & the bathwater).

I also think it’s unfair to make an assumption on of whom Sherry approves or disapproves. It’s judgmental in a way. From what I see, Sherry runs the website and she only comments on what she wishes to address, but for the most part, she does not interfere or take sides. She gives most of us free reign with our words, considering this is a fan site.

Neela, first of all, I haven’t read any past posts of any unflattering remarks for I haven’t gone back that far. I have only seen mine deleted and that is what I was going on, especially when they weren’t any curse words! I was making my comments solely on my own opinions, not yours or anyone else.
As far as Faryal’s babbling, that is exactly what it is, she wasn’t talking nonsense about Brad or Angie.
Are you saying a post can’t be harmonious unless everyone is in total agreement and hero worship? That isn’t even normal or natural, and I think Angie would laugh it it was!
Do any of you really think they would be comfortable being around someone that calls them practically Gods like some on here have? It would scare them off!
So in all respect to you, people can find some admirable and likeable things about this couple, and I have, many time, without being like ligaya and dinad who I think are living their lives thru their dreams of Brad and Angie!
To Sherry, I don’t have any confrontational issues with her, I am glad she has a site where I can at least see some nice pictures and I think she posts the truth not just gossip about them.
I hope she keeps going strong for a long time to come!

Neela
Oct 31, 2007 at 10:44 pm
well, lori, i have seen negative posts from the past and they do exist. and you’re doing it again. you’re putting words in my mouth. chill a bit. i’m not attacking you personally, but i am challenging some of your reasoning.
first of all, i said, this site is harmonious FOR THE MOST PART. obviously, people have had some disagreements here and there on this site, but FOR THE MOST PART, everybody gets along. most of the time, nobody gets hassled by detractors or by wayward, whiney, dissatisfied visitors.
again, i’m just saying that you just shouldn’t take things too personally. you’re not being singled out. some of my posts don’t even get posted. and if yours get deleted, take it up with sherry privately. email her instead of making a slight off-hand, round-about comment about sherry’s so-called approved posters.
and yes, faryal’s babblings are nonsensical. that’s why they’re babblings. they don’t make sense, and they’re always about brad. most of her comments may be harmless, but at the same time, since they are irrelevant, i would think that sherry would have deleted those a long time ago. but instead, she hasn’t, granted those posts are harmless–actually, they’re scary. sherry’s been very tolerant and she’s fair.
and again, no one has to agree on this site but at the same time, this place is an escape for many fans. like i said, others may be more fanatical than others, but so what? it’s their life. if they choose to live vicariously through celebs, then, that’s their deal. we can only judge those fans by what they say, but we still really wouldn’t know how they are in real life. so, it wouldn’t be fair to criticize those fans. as long as they aren’t doing actual harm to anyone, then, i’d say they’re okay. one of my friends is a gargantuan depeche mode fan (she just flew to new york last week just to be able to meet and get an autograph from the lead singer), and though her passion is laughable, she’s not mental either. she is very smart, very well-read, artistic, and hard-working. the point is, there are brangelina fans who equal my friend’s fanaticism and their admired celebs may think them loony for it, but so what? those kinds of fans have been around for god knows how long. and i’d say most of them are still pretty normal otherwise.
likewise, again, you’re making assumptions about what angie and brad would think. they may not like it that some of their fans are overly hyped up about them. but then, they may not also like it that some people are overly judgmental and critical of them, too.
as for ligaya, i have read her comments, and you know what, she is very eloquent, articulate, and rational. her comments are calm and she always backs up her statements. if you read her post again, she mentioned that everyone ‘EVERYONE’ has valid comments. just like you’re stating an opinion, so is she. and i think she has spoken the truth a lot of times. and i think it’s unfair to make another assumption such as she’s living her dreams through brad and angie. she just has a great admiration for them.
and i have yet to read a comment by anyone declaring brad and angie as gods. so, you do exaggerate a bit. but like i said, some are more fanatical than others, but as long as they are functional and mentally stable citizens, then, there really isn’t a problem. so, try to hold off on the judgments.

same goes for dinad. heh, i didn’t mean to exclude her. point is, i think we should draw a line when making presumptuous statements against fellow posters. we only know them to a certain extent, and those are through their posts here, and nothing more. so, let’s play fair here.

Thanks for the kind comments, Neela. Many times I’ve found myself struggling to organize my thoughts and be clear, searching for the right words & tone - then was about to post when I saw you had already done such a beautiful job. Sometimes I couldn’t figure out what to say, but you had. I’d say well done to myself, but I’ve probably never told you directly.

Mavi, I mean so we can talk without forcing everybody else to be in our conversation - which they might not be interested in. :-) How do we get in touch? I don’t want to post my email address.

“people can find some admirable and likeable things about this couple, and I have, many time, without being like LIGAYA AND DINAD who I think are living their lives thru their dreams of Brad and Angie!”
Ooooh, lori. I was re-reading some of your recent posts. I didn’t remember you referring to me by name, but Neela mentioned me & dinad so I looked. I guess I didn’t read this particular post of yours carefully. I hope you didn’t take my lack of response as agreement with you. I will respond with a thoughtful, rational post – but I’m just posting this heads up asap so you don’t think I don’t care. There is one thing we both probably can agree on – being glad that you’re not me.

AN APPEAL TO SHERRY
I don’t express my appreciation of your time, energy, hard work, patience and level-headedness (is that a word?) enough. Pittwatch is a precious and rare site, I treasure it, you, and almost all of the posters. I’m concerned that the Lori brouhaha is on the brink of consuming Pittwatch. It seems that most or at least half of the comments lately are from Lori or responding to Lori, instead of focusing on the Jolie-Pitts.
I think it’s time to consider the T-word - troll. Up until BlessBrangelina’s post (”spoiling for a fight”), I’d seen Lori as a cantankerous, mixed-up person, but not a troll. There have been visitors here before who have been anti-JPs, sometimes outright, sometimes saying they were fans BUT…then spew all the lies. (Refreshingly, Lori has posted she is NOT a fan, which begs the question of why she’s on a fan site.) I’ve re-read Lori’s post from the last 6 weeks. Whether Lori is a troll or not, it’s clear to me that she behaves like a troll, and is extremely disruptive on this board. I don’t want L’Affaire de Lori to be destructive to our peace.

wow! i just scrolled up and actually read some of the post on here. if you dont enjoy reading about angelina and brad and their kids, and you think that they are “over-exposed”, why are you looking up websites like this? i doubt that you stumbled upon this webpage accidentally. this is a FUN site with FUN info and great pics for people who enjoy Brangelina. why would you even VISIT the site to only post negative comments about the other visitors or about brad and angelina themselves? i was under the assumption that this site was intended for entertainment purposes and for people who love to see beautiful people whom they admire. its not to be used as a forum to bash brangelina fans, is it?

Ladies, I find it disingenous (sp?) and extremely unbelievable that anyone on the internet who posts on blogs doesn’t know the meaning of “troll.” Besides, don’t you have dictionaries?
In an excess of civility & cooperation, I provide wikipedia’s definition: “An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who intentionally posts controversial or contrary messages in an on-line community such as an on-line discussion forum with the intention of baiting users into an argumentative response.” That’s the short definition. For more, see wikipedia.org.

English is my second language. Lori, I’m wondering if you’re an ESL speaker too. The syntax of some of your posts (and a few of Mavi’s, for that matter) gives me that impression. Maybe that’s been adding to the miscommunication.

Hey Hey! wait just a minute my dear Ligaya! i did look it up in the diccionary, and and TROLL! in my diccionary means well it’s not nice, it reads: In early Scandinavian folklore, giant, monstrous being, sometimes possesing magic powers. hostile to men, trolls lived in castles and haunted the surrounding districts after dark. if exposed to sunlight they burst or turned to stone. In later tales trolls often are man-sized or smaller beings similar to DWARFS AND ELVES. They live in mountains,.. it’s to sad i can’t go on.

My posts are being deleted but will answer ligaya if am allowed too.
I have not been on any sites on the internet for very long. I am not familiar with the terms that I guess most of the people are. I didn’t realize there were certain terms you use. I am an American but again I did not know what “troll” meant. I have only heard that word from watching Lord of the Rings so I thought it meant something like that.
Thank you for explaining it to me.

“The lady doth protest too much, methinks.” — Wm. Shakespeare
I agree with ligaya, lori is a troll. And not a very smart one at that, for she has blatantly expressed that it is her sole desire to post “negative” comments about BP, AJ and their children. Egad! What kind of human being are you, lori? Okay, BP and AJ can take it, they’re in the public eye; but why in the world do you want to post negative comments about their kids! No, no, don’t answer that, my question is strictly rhetorical. Besides, I don’t care to know your reason.
Thank you ligaya for shining the light on what lori is—a troll. From now on, I will just ignore her posts. Perhaps she will go away if she is ignored—meaning if absolutely NO ONE responds to her, the deprivation from being the center of attention will make her wither and die.

I find it surprising that ligaya is as old as she says she is!
