Annie Leibovitz Life Through a Lens- Summary and Inspiring pictures

Annie Leibovits definatly is one of those photographers that when you see her pictures it makes you think. Her work for Vanity Fair and the Rolling Stones was both interesting and unique, it had her trademark. She knew the “ defining moment” even when others would of put down thier camera. I really enjoyed her pictures for both magazines both different but equally as memorizing. Though if I had to pick one over the other, I would say Vanity Fair. I think for two reasons, one it’s really hard to position people the right way and get the photo to look good ( I know from the Magazine project last year) and two because of how crazy her photo shoots were; she branched out and tried new stuff.  I also enjoyed the colos she used in her photos. I don’t think I’ve seen photos from the film before, or at least not that I remeber. Throughout the film we got to know Annie as not only a famous photographer but a person. How the role just became her and how she adapted to such a crazy lifestyle. At first she wanted to be an art teacher and it shows how easy things can change, wich I think was an importand message. I believe Leibovitz had such a long career because she was creative, bossy, smart, she saw an image and she fufilled the idea despite the cost. As others said in the movie she saw things others didn’t.

Here are some of my favorite photos done by her:
