Annie Liebovitz is an American portrait photographer who have captured many iconic photographs in the entertainment industry. Her portfolio consist of her years working at ''Rolling Stones', a biweekly magazine company and Vanity Fair as the photographer. Her works are all bold and are intimates.
Her photography subjects are often focally focused on celebrities such as legendary icons and controversial artistes / subjects. Her inspirations were Robert Frank and Henri Cartier-Bresson as she describes their style as 'what we were taught to emulate'. She has won a lot of awards and being recognised by Vanity Fair for her bold style.
I chose her because she is the most recognised well known celebrity photographer. I also like how she has created her works with a small hint of her personal touch, so when people looked at her works, they would feel a connection especially since most of her subjects are celebrities. This would encourages me to add a certain personal touch in my photographs. As photographs are made to tell a story through visually, the extra oomph to make the photos stands out more is when the photographs has a meaning behind it.
