Eva Jinek walking with her newborn daughter Salo, her son Pax and her boyfriend Dexter: yet another direct hit from Story paparazzo Edwin Smulders. Staged?
It’s no secret that a lot of paparazzi photos in tabloids are taken in collaboration with the stars. Celebrities are often given two options: either they cooperate for a nice photo, or the paparazzo will annoyingly stand around posting all day and end up taking an unwanted photo.
Staged
Actually, for stars it is a bit like choosing between two evils. Rob Kemps also chose to participate in a paparazzo photo in the spring, namely when he walked down the street with his new girlfriend. But if you know you are being photographed, isn’t it seriously disrespectful to speak to her? Nice for his ex…
Rob has come under criticism, but he doesn’t care about it. Eva Jinek has a less cordial relationship with the press. After her first birth, she did not dare to go to the hospital for fear of paparazzi: “They were standing in front of my door waiting for me to come out with the stroller. It made me feel rushed.”
Agreements with Eva
Story boss Guido den Aantrekker later indicated that he had made agreements with Eva. “We have an agreement with Eva Jinek that we will not portray her son in a recognizable way. This makes her much more willing to pose for us, for example.”
And so this week there is a perfect family photo of Eva on the cover of Story. Her newborn daughter Salo, son Pax and beloved Dexter: they are all there. “The first photos!”, the tabloid headlines.
First photos
Edwin made a nice picture of Eva and her family. “When Story photographer Edwin Smulders gets in front of the presenter with her young family in their picturesque hometown of Abcoude last weekend, it is clear at a glance that the journey they are taking at that moment is one of intense family happiness.”
The magazine continues: “Just a peaceful scene that will welcome many people during these dark days of horror on the world stage.”
