By now everyone must be familiar with the newly released pictures of MJ supposedly taken in 1999 by Arno Bani, but many of us speculate that it was taken more recently.  Well, I found a hole in Arno's timeline regarding the date of the photoshoot that might prove the photoshoot did not take place in 1999.

I checked out Arno Bani's bio in the link mack5K provided, (thanks mack5K). According to the bio, dated April 2006, Arno Bani was 25 at the time the bio was written. In the bio, it says Arno was 23 when he met Michael Jackson. Now for the math. If Arno was 25 in 2006, then he must be 28 or 29 in 2010. But if the photoshoot with MJ was in 1999 (11 years ago), then Arno Bani would have been only 18 years old when he took those photos. Yet the bio says that Arno produced his first fashion and beauty pictures when he was just 20 years old. At age 18 he was still in school and a floor assistant at some photography studios.

Now if it's true that Arno was 23 when he photographed Michael, then that would have been in 2004 which was the year of the trial, which might explain why the pictures look more recent than 1999 and more importantly, why MJ looks so sad. But why lie about the date of the photoshoot? How can you confuse 1999 with 2004, they're not even in the same decade!

Here's the bio:

ARNO BANI - BIOGRAPHIE - APRIL 2006
Arno Bani's career began while he was still at school. A self-taught and determined individual, he took the decision at the age of eighteen
to become involved in visual art by producing his first pictures.
His desire to learn the trade on-the-job and in a more professional way led him to finish his school studies. He spent several months as a
floor assistant at some of Paris' most famous studios. His wish, however, was to be able to put forward his vision of things from behind
the camera lens; he made good use of the facilities provided to him by his various studios and made a push for the big time.
At the age of just twenty, he produced his first fashion and beauty pictures in Sweden and began to make a name for himself outside of
Paris. He caught the eye of Isabella Blow, talent scout from the Sunday Times, who spotted his first offerings. They struck up a
relationship and worked together on successive occasions. The young Frenchman began to turn his camera to an ever greater range of
subjects and his confidence grew and grew.
His creations are the result of a blend of thought and instinct. The concepts of luxury and chic are reworked and displayed for all to see.
With artistic flair and taste akin to those of Ora Ito and Topolino, Arno Bani took a course off the beaten track of fashion towards his
own personal visual world, in which he expresses his specific vision of the feminine form.
His work was then noticed by Michael Jackson in the fashion pages of the Sunday Times. Jackson entrusted his image to Arno Bani by
commissioning a series of portraits. At the age of twenty-three, Arno Bani found himself face to face with a living legend with the task of
capturing him on film.
This project sealed Arno Bani's reputation as one of the most talented photographers of his generation. He was subsequently taken on by
such fashion and luxury-item names as Lacroix, Givenchy and Cartier and by David Guetta, Bob Sinclair and the stars of Air.
Now aged twenty-five, Arno Bani is a famous photographer beyond the world of fashion. Based on oppositions - a mix of classicism and
modernity - his monochrome approach has now become omnipresent and can be seen in the pages of Citizen K, Spoon, Visionaire and
Jalouse.......

You can read the rest of the bio here:

Here's Arno Bani's contact info in case anyone is ballsy enough to clear up the discrepancy by going straight to the horse's mouth.  I'm not  :oops:.
20 rue des Coutures Saint Gervais 75003 PARIS / FRANCE t. +33 6 88 23 67 53 http://www.myspace.com/arnobani

One last thing, the following picture has the year 2010 printed on it.  Would it not make more sense to stamp the picture with the year the picture was taken, instead of the year the picture was published?  Maybe someone with a background in fashion or photography can shed light on this.

I agree it does look like it has some kind of effect, but I still think it's a real picture of Michael.

Wow - this was all amazing, even the speed drawing. People are soooo talented. I can't even draw stick men :)

Thank you for all of this information - it's interesting that the timelines don't match up - I wonder why he'd feel the need to lie about the date? And it's also interesting that the photo has 2010 in the side. Blessings!

I'm proud to be a child of God and a member of MJ's Army of L.O.V.E.

But how could this be? I've read that the footage meant to be the cover of the "Invincible" album (2001)...

Sun comes up on this new morning
Shifting shadows, a songbird sings
And if you feel alone, I'll be your shoulder
With a tender touch, you know me so well
Somebody once said, it's the soul that matters
Baby, who can really tell when two hearts belong so well

This may be wishful thinking but maybe they transposed the numbers and it should read 2010 and the album cover for the upcoming album release in November!?!?!?!?!??!
To me, this photo is reminiscent of a dream like state (the look of pj's, darkness, nighttime, stars, moon).....and is more indicative of the current state of affairs and album release (that are rumored to include "A Place Without No Name" and "Another Day").

I'm not sure but I think when they reprint a picture they put the date of the reprint on it .
