Annie Leibovitz

Molto buono. Una voce modesta sincera (che non lesina di raccontare il lato tecnico delle fotografie, di solito evitato da molti fotografi) e in generale una panoramica su una fotografa importante soprattutto per un preciso momento storico (anni '70-80) e per la definizione di uno specifico genere di ritratto.

Lots of powerful portraits. My favorites were the ones of Venus and Serena. The interview at the end was interesting. It's amazing the work that goes into something that often looks effortless.

1949-

This memoir collection of photographs really cemented that I enjoy Leibovitz's portrait work rather than her landscapes. Her portraits both of family members and celebrities have such a connection to her subjects in a way that the landscapes do not. The memoir element of this collection was intriguing; I couldn't really see much change in photography style but the chronicling of her life through images with out other context drew me in. I also appreciated the diversity of subjects.
