The fact that neither of them are acknowledging the MM photoshoot, when we know that they both check Twitter and Instagram, is weird. There are beautiful photos of them but they don’t comment on it. What does that mean?

No idea if it means something. I would definitely love them to tweet about it, Gillian to write a funky caption for example. There was a time she would have totally done that. Last year, we all thought it would have been odd if they acknowledge them considering the fact that all the pictures leaked, but he posted this one himself on Instagram and Twitter, so a little retweet/regram would be great! 

I can’t possibly be the only one who thought the so called MM leak was just made up. I mean they stole them all from him but let him have that one to treat fans with later? It’s all just so fishy I feel it was a PR stragedy on his part.

You know what’s funny? I’ve never really bought this leak thing either, but I’ve been called names for saying that at the time by those who are today so offended by Mark Mann “using” Gillovny for his self-promotion. Last year he was the talented victim of a robbery who would never leak his own work, and today he’s an asshole who uses Gillian and David to make money on them. Double standard at its peak!
So no, I don’t think the leak happened randomly, yes I think it served him well, yes he’s a god business man, but the real question is: why does it matter?

The pictures are incredibly beautiful, Gillian and David seem to genuinely like him and vice versa, he’s one of the few who got to photograph them both and what he created is unique and will remain in the X-Files and Gillovny history, and finally, he ships them. He really does. And not only to gain followers on Instagram, but because he met them and as everyone else who does, he was amazed by their chemistry.
Shouldn’t we focus on that instead of blaming a professional photographer for promoting his own work?

Do you think the MM photos were done for their personal use…???? Because we haven’t seen these released in any way so why do them and then no one ever buys these gems??? They’re perfect, you would think it would have been a promo for something but NOPE. I bet a few are in their homes.

No, I don’t think so. I’d love to, but if they were personal they would have remained private. Actually they belong to Deadline, most of them, and they use them to illustrate all the articles they write about them since last year.
Mark Mann has been photographing a bunch of celebrities in Tribeca at the time he did this photoshoot. All the pics of other people look like the Gillian and David’s ones lighting and artistically-wise. They were taken for the Emmys section of Deadline, and I think Deadline wanted them in case they were nominated last year, which didn’t happen. Deadline didn’t buy them all, though so now Mark Mann is free to release the ones he hasn’t sold. He also personally sold a few himself. Last year, you could buy the one of my icon on his website for a few hundred of dollars. That couldn’t have happened if these were personal pictures. 
That said, I bet they have framed one or two at their homes too!
