One can take it as a career option, if one has the willingness to work hard, has a creative mind, and possesses the ability to capture the perfect images.

    Lena Dunham in Vogue, the Issue with the Issue.

    Lena Dunham was crowned “THE NEW QUEEN OF COMDEY” by Vogue in their upcoming February issue. Of course, with dubbing Lena that title would come a cover, and on that cover there is her photo, and in that photo comes some controversy. You would think people would be thrilled to have someone seemingly forward thinking and creative gracing the cover of Vogue. As far as celebrities go, we do put Lena Dunham on a relatable and level headed pedestal (Along with Miss Hungergames).
