Chalk it up to nepotism, cost cutting or just good genes, but aspiring photographer Theo Wenner, son of Jann, is getting plenty of work from Rolling Stone these days. In recent months, the 23-year-old has photographed Ke$ha, MGMT and Corinne Bailey Rae for the biweekly.
Wenner is a familiar face at the journal: they interned in the picture department over the summer of 2006, and got his large break years later when they was commissioned to shoot Robert Pattinson for the 2008 Hot List issue. (Notably, he is gotten a small bit of mileage out of the series - last summer, Us Every week, another Wenner Media property, devoted several pages to "never-before-seen" pics from the shoot, as well as a number of his Pattinson pics have appeared, presumably through syndication agreements, in issues of File journal and Swedish Elle.) Asked about Wenner's contributions, Rolling Stone's creative director, Jodi Peckman, told WWD: "Theo gives a fresh, new point of view to the pages of the journal. They displays confidence, style as well as a great knowledge and appreciation of photography in all its forms."
