I know it is a long shot but after the 2026 biopic...or even alongside it - I would really like for the last photoshoots which Bruce Webber (Michael's photographer) & Rushka Bergman (Michael's stylist) created with Michael, to be put in a documented mini film. Doesn't have to be long. It is significant enough. We have two photo shoots to work with and create something magical and that is L'Uomo Vogue & Ebony. These pictorials tend to marry each other since Matthew Rolston also conducted a separate photoshoot with Michael Jackson around the same time (September 2007), which produced images that appeared in Ebony, Jet,
  • Bruce Weber was the photographer who specifically shot the photos for the December 2007/January 2008 issue of L'Uomo Vogue, which also featured a large interview and artistic spread. Many of these same images appeared in Ebony.
  • Photographer: Bruce Weber / Matthew Rolston
  • Magazines: L'Uomo Vogue and Ebony
  • Dates: September 15 and 24, 2007
  • Significance: The photos are highly regarded for their stylish and artistic quality.
Stylist: Rushka Bergman styled one of the beautiful memorable portraits from the series.

What was so special , specific ,...and such breathtakingly lovely-ness about those two projects is .. It is one of the last actual physical documents of Michael (2 magazines) before everything turned to touchscreen.

so please, please , estate make this possible for us, michael's fans.

hello PrinceLucien✌️
Welcome to 👉MJJC. 🫶Yeah exactly ! Not to mention that he was making his art with Bruce since he was 12 years old and It is all so very special, and I feel it is one of the reason why I believe the estate should consider taking this project on and making it truly official. {Most likely a dream yet one can wish and dream...🎶 .... Right? }
 
I like this one.
would be suitable as a cover for a future Shout release

Yeah, see,... You get it Hot Street! Exactly what I was about to type. Because this is all we have (regarding most recent years. ) I Truly believe and painfully stress that it is really important for the estate to take consideration here and compile this ...really.
 
And if they do put any more music out...use these ... use this for cover art. Gotta.

We also have the Arno Bani photoshoot from 1999 (Which the public have not seen I'm sure -) And that shoot was originally intended for the album cover of Invincible, though the photos were not ultimately used for that purpose. Use these photoshoots. There is a wealth of treasures here, it is just all over the place. And that is what scares me .... Losing his image, his essence.. Losing m all over again .... because all over pinterest especially regular photos {not talking about AI creativity} have changed /.. slowly disappearing. I find these lesser known shoots haven't been doctored so much. It is purely Michael. It's very important.
 
MJ actually looked like himself in these photos. Some other shoots from the 00's made him look unflattering.
 
I don't understand why people and medias says he was ugly, I find him very good for a 50 years old sick tired man

In my opinion most of them were edited too much. Especially the ones from Ebony (I have seen some that were not - or less - edited, they looked way better). Same with the Arno Bani photoshoot. I like the creativity but with the editing in some pictures you nearly can't recognise Michael. But maybe that's just my thoughts. As a photographer I am very picky about the editing and I don't like when it looks too unrealistic, no skin structure, etc.

❤️I get what you are saying someplace , I do. And alot of people at the time definitely had some similar thoughts. I really gravitate towards the L'Uomo out of the two thats why I keep posting those photos slightly more than Ebony . Haha I like a certain ebony backstage one though.And I do like his long jacket in those Ebony shoots ❤️
 
Why This Is SO Important ..

... 📚 Multiple Appearances: Michael Jackson appeared on the cover of Ebony and Jet magazines multiple times throughout his career, with major photoshoots associated with the years 1979, 1984, and 2007. .📚

  • Simultaneous Publications: The 2007 photo sessions produced images used for both the December 2007 issue of Ebony (his first U.S. magazine story in a decade) and the December 24-31 issue of Jet. Jet magazine is an iconic American news magazine that has chronicled African-American life, culture, and achievements since its founding in 1951. It is the sister publication to Ebony.

  • Photographers: The 2007 shoots were conducted by notable photographers Bruce Weber (for L'Uomo Vogue and Ebony) and Matthew Rolston.

  • Context: The 2007 interviews and photos marked a step toward an intended comeback, focusing on the 25th anniversary of Thriller,
    his creative process, and fatherhood.

  • Documentary: The story of the final photoshoots and the efforts by the crew and stylists to make them happen became the subject of the 2013 documentary film Michael: The Last Photo Shoots. (Although unofficial I'd want this backed by the estate.)
