What We Learned This Week: Duane Michals Shoots Fashionable Jacob Elordi for Bottega Venata

At 93, the famed fine-art photographer Duane Michals is still making news. As we noted this week, Michals has shot one of the season's standout ad campaigns, working with actor Jacob Elordi (the sympathetic monster in director Guillermo del Toro's Netflix hit "Frankenstein") for fashion line Bottega Veneta. The campaign, which features a series of photographs and a video, is titled "What Are Dreams," taking its name from a 1994 image by Michals. For the new work, Michals drew on his long-standing engagement with surrealism to capture Elordi in black and white with props and motifs that have appeared throughout his work.
