Photographer here: That photo is NOT overexposed. It looks technically well lit to me. My guess as to why they presented her in that outfit etc, well the clue is in the text on the cover. "By the people, for the people." They obviously dressed her in a way that could relate to the common person. Michelle Obama, Melania Trump, Hillary Clinton etc would be dressed in either sharp suits or elegant dresses/gowns, but Kamala is the face of the new communist America, not the old America, so she gets the "look, I'm one of you!" treatment. No way in hell did Anna Wintour and Vogue intentionally try to make her look bad. ALL the fashion magazines cream themselves over left-wing politics and diversity. And Wintour has recently been attacked by the mob for another "bad" cover of a she-boon. She promised to "do better" etc. (and in reality, they DID do better with the photo this time, because the previous one really was awful and not lit well for the subject) It's just another example of the fact that the lefty lunatics will NEVER be happy with anything. It's psychologically impossible for them to be, because their whole mindset is based on finding racism, sexism, homophobia etc in everything.
