Brooklyn Beckham mocked for 'terrible' pictures in new photography book

Brooklyn Beckham is being mocked on social media for his "terrible" photographs and "even worse" captions.

The eldest of the Beckham children published his first photography book, What I See, on Thursday, and users on Twitter have been sharing their thoughts.

"Huge fan of Brooklyn Beckham's terrible photographs and even worse captions," one user wrote, posting one of his snaps of an elephant.

The caption reads: "elephants in kenya. so hard to photograph, but incredible to see."

The admission that it was difficult to photograph an elephant has led to numerous jokes on social media, with users sharing their own photos of the mammal.

"Dear Brooklyn Beckham, please find attached a photograph of an elephant that was incredibly easy for me to take," one user wrote.

"My brother took this photo of an elephant, he will never be as good a photographer as Brooklyn Beckham," said another.

Some shared a print screen of a Google search for elephant photos, while others were even harsher.

"Brooklyn Beckham's s*** photography would be funny if it wasn't a massive slap in the face to anyone grinding in the creative industry," wrote one user.

Twitter account drivelcast shared a series of strange snaps "inspired by Brooklyn Beckham".

One shows a dark patio and is called 'Fox in Next Door's Garden But It Was Dark', while another shows an empty tree branch with the caption 'Sparrow That Flew Off Just as I Was Getting the Camera Out'.

Brooklyn Beckham's publisher, Random House, defended the book's publication to The Independent.

"What I See is a book for teenagers, by a teenager, which gives Brooklyn's fans broader insight into his world seen through his unique and creative perspective," they said.

"Teenagers lives are filled with the visual image and we know Brooklyn's photos resonate with his huge young following, who avidly follow his life through his photography. We are proud to bring these images together in a book for a young generation for the first time.".
