Brent Stirton is a name you may not know, but he’s a professional photographer affiliated with Getty Images and he was the one who went to Namibia to shoot the photos of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.
Neither People nor Getty credited the photographer behind the Jolie-Pitt twins’ photos so no one is 100% sure who shot the spread, but many people are pretty well convinced it was Stirton again. He was asked directly in this video interview if it was his work and he very cleverly sidestepped the question – but if you ask me he was admitting to it without saying the actual words.
They also asked him his thoughts on the kind of money these sorts of magazine exclusives raise for good causes, such as the incredible charity donations Brad and Angelina make from the photos, especially compared to other work Stirton does. He seemed very kind, referring to Angelina Jolie as being one of the “few honorable people” in the celebrity world who has helped so many people in such a direct way.
Enjoy!
Thanks to the unnamed PDN person who contacted me to let me know about this clip.
(I’m an amateur photography freak so I went to check him out further. If you’re curious, you can see Brent Stirton’s stellar photography at his website.)

The Jolie-Pitts rock !!!!
They are my favorite celebrities, full of class and grace and just darn good people !!
speaking of charitable works… Please send donations to Texas!! We were so lucky but so many are not. Galveston, Point Boliver are places so close to my heart. I grew up playing on the beaches, they were thriving and now are totally devastated. In Boliver only a few houses stand and hundeds only the slabs are left, the same in all coastal areas all the way to Louisiana.
They are now searching for bodies in the debris. It is so emotional knowing so many who live and work on the island.
I also ask for your prayers, they are much needed and in many cases do more than sending money.
so all you Angelina and Brad fans please pray for those effected by Ike.
thank you and God Bless.
I know this is off subject but I thought I would pass on this piece of information I just stumbled across regarding Brad and doing a search for anything having to do with Brad.
