The relevance of the new photos of Kate Middleton, told by five experts

The images provided by Kensington Palace to celebrate Kate Middleton's 40th birthday are giving a lot to talk about.The style chosen by the Duchess and the photographer, Paolo Roversi, has surprised many.According to the British media, Prince Guillermo's wife, who studied art history at the University of St.Andrews, did his career job on Victorian photography, and hence, to celebrate his four decades he has opted for images of that same style, that the Italian Roversi has managed to capture in an exceptional way.

Therefore, if we compare the three images of Kate with those of the other royals on their 40th birthday, we will see that they have nothing to do with.The style is completely different and to delve into it from Vanitatis we have spoken with five experts, whose opinions allow us to know more about the portraits of Victoria de Sweden, Máxima de Holland, Mary of Denmark, Kate Middleton and Queen Letizia when 40candles.

One of them is Estela de Castro, a photographer who also knows a lot about real images, since he was in charge of making the official portraits of the royal family that were distributed in February 2020.Estela tells us what is most attracted to each of this series of photographs of Victoria from Sweden, Máxima de Holland, Mary of Denmark, Kate Middleton and Queen Letizia on the occasion of her 40th birthday, although there is a detailthat sees all of them: "All images show a confidence towards the chosen person, perhaps with small guidelines, but respecting the creativity of each author or author".

From those taken to Mary of Denmark, highlights the "closeness" that is perceived between the protagonist of the images and its author, Linda Heriksen, when performing the session: "The use of spaces by creating a contextualized portrait makes you closer tocharacter and real life ".Something that also stands out from Doña Letizia's images: "Of the images of the queen made by my beloved and admired Cristina García Rodero would say that they are close and family members.I have been able to meet the kings in person and photograph them, and I know that the closeness that Cristina's images transmit is the one that she could live in person ".

Estela is a follower of photographer Erwin Olaf, author of the portraits of Queen Máximspace, in addition to body language control ".The "freshness and simplicity" are the two features of the portraits of Victoria de Sweden that stand out the most for De Castro, which ends this particular analysis with the most recent ones, those of Kate Middleton, of the teacher Paolo Roversi, as sheDefine: "I think it's wonderful the light, composition, simplicity and elegance with which these images have created".

Cristian Salomoni, director of the IIAC, expert in nonverbal communication, and doubt.For them, the images of the Duchess of Cambridge are a real success, "a clear example as they already did during the pandemic.We see a Kate who with her position wants to transmit closeness, sincerity, always smiling.The focus is on his face, his gaze, his smile.Your communication is focused on transmitting something "establishment", but contemporary.He wants to transmit the image of a strong, inspiring woman through the camera.People like their fresh and natural style that is a quality that citizens have long asks for European royalty ".

And they continue: "There is an choice of colors of very interesting clothes, a red dress, since we know that it is one of its fetish colors, and that it highlights its identity stamp, its personal brand.And the white one, which makes her feel so timeless in a photo reminiscent of the 1800 paintings, in a mixed between tradition (the monarchy) and the everyday (publish it on Instagram).It also attracts attention that the commitment ring that belonged to Lady Di.As if he collected his legacy.But there are not many jewels, such as maximum photos.The true jewel is herself ".

In the case of Máxima de Holland, Salomoni and Duduymi believe that "he wanted.She is a woman who grabs the usual customs.The pearls, the poses, the one collected with the crown speak for themselves.As for Victoria, he wanted to convey simplicity above all.The total white look with the hair back and the minimalist environment allow to convey that it was in the flower of life, vital, pure and transformed.To Mary, for those photographs we could say that she is a working, humble and empathic woman.And finally, Letizia is the only one that transmits that family side.In addition, it is the sexiest of all, with lace and uncovered shoulders, which demonstrate their eagerness for leadership ".

We also talk about the images with the photographer and photography professor Jon Eztala, who tells us the following: "In general, all images try to flee from the official, the standard and approach a simpler concept, fleeing from theparaphernalia and betting on a simpler model.In all photographs we work with soft lights, which generates a very soft, very unaware of light transition of lights.A direct light would have generated a more abrupt, darker, even aggressive scenario.It seeks to tell a story away from its status and closer to the people, if it can be said so ".

"The image of Máximo looking out the window," he continues, "is a very skilled resource by the photographer.It is a simple image, with a soft light.Not being looking directly at the camera is a very suitable resource to influence the spectator and imagine what he may be looking at.The family image of Letizia is striking, of which we are in thousands of houses.She playing with her daughters, with soft light also, oblivious to the photographer and the spectator ".

Joz Eztala talks about the photographs of Princess Mary as "the most inn", although with elements, such as the posture, sitting on a sofa, or the outfit, away from the protocol, which also make them closer.Something that has in common with the two remaining: "The Kate Middleton series is very simply simplicity, without makeup, without exaggerated hairstyles, in black and white with an old nuance, very far from the official photos that usually show the real houses".A closeness that is not avoided in the victory of Sweden: "Comfortable posture, nothing royal, informal clothing...They have also worked with natural light so that all images seem unique, far from flashes, montages.They are elements that give excellent results -an example are the photographs of Isabel II made by Annie Leibovitz, which are of extraordinary quality -but they move the viewer a lot away from a more conciliatory concept that is wanted to give the current images ".

For his part, for José Gegúndez, a photographer who follows Queen Letizia, the photos of Kate "are very in the dream line of Roversi, a fashion photographer who grew up in the Paris of the 70s.Try to convert the Duchess of Cambridge into a model giving that session air with uniform background, artificial light and perhaps removing naturalness in the profile photo.Very polarid style that already applied in the Pirelli 2020 "calendar.As for those of Letizia, whom he knows and continues, he considers that García Rodero "triesFrom Victoria, Cristina plays with the depth of field to highlight the model, in this case the queen.They are technically impeccable ".

On Mary's, Gegúndez believes that they are "more 'vogue' style.Photos where the princess poses for the goal of Linda Henriksen as if she were an actress.Natural and artificial light mixture in interior portraits and natural light and spontaneity produced outside.A fashion magazine production is guessed.As for Victoria, observing the previous work of Erika Gerdemark, her photos breathe naturalness and natural light, a style that applies to her work as a wedding photographer and corporate portrait.Very clean and shallow field images, which highlights in this case the heiress princess ".

Gegúndez does not hide his admiration for Erwin Olaf, the one in charge of photographing maximum."Olaf's style is reflected in each and every one of them.Use of artificial light in all photos and mix of photojournalism with fashion techniques.Peculiar illuminations where it gives importance to both the background and the character ".
