ANNIE LEIBOVITZ WHO IS ANNIE LEIBOVITZ? WHO IS ANNIE LEIBOVITZ? Annie Leibovitz is an American portrait photographer. She photographed John Lennon on the day he was assassinated, and her work has been used on numerous album covers and magazines. Born: 2 October 1949 (age 68) Awards: Honorary Clio Award, Glamour Award for The Visionary WHERE IS ANNIE LEIBOVITZ FROM? Waterbury, Connecticut, United States HOW ANNIE LEIBOVITZ GOT INTO PHOTOGRAPHY? During a vacation from school, Leibovitz visited her family, then living in the Philippines. She and her mother took a trip to Japan, where she bought a camera and began taking pictures. When she returned to school, Leibovitz enrolled in a night class in photography. "I was totally seduced by the wonderment of it all," she told a writer for Art News. "To see something that afternoon and have it materialize before your eyes that same day. There was a real immediacy to it. I lived in the darkroom." WHAT LOCATIONS / COUNTRIES HAS ANNIE SHOT AT? Annie Leibovitz has shot at various places in the world, one being at Buckingham Palace in the UK, as she did a photoshoot of the queen for the BBC. Leibovitz has also shot various photos for vanity fair which is based in Mayfair, London. Various photos have also been shot in the United States such as in New York where she shot in various places, such as a bar and New York skyline. WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR WORK? What Annie Leibovitz is trying to communicate with her work is a subject at the time, capturing a subject in the moment. She tries to show celebrities letting down their guards during a photoshoot so the public can get a better look at their personalities. She also does various pre-shoot research on the people featuring in the photoshoots, this is so she can get a insight to their lives beforehand to improve the photoshoot quality. STYLE Annie Leibovitz, is renowned for her dramatic, quirky, and iconic portraits of a great variety of celebrities. Her signature style is crisp and well lighted. QUOTES “A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.” “Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself.” “When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.” MY OPINION Likes What I like about Annie Leibovitz photography is the depth to her pictures, yet the rich simplicity. I really like the soft lighting in all her pictures that are aesthetically pleasing to look at. Dislikes What I dislike about Annie Leibovitz photography is that some of her photographs rely heavily on editing and not post production such as the Disney photoshoot, whereas the photoshoot with the queen seems to be less edited and natural..

Shooting the Movement: Black Panther Party Photography and African American Protest Tr a di ti o n s T.N. P h u Abstract: Although the failure of the Black Panther Party has often been attributed to the violence which consumed it, the photographic record suggests otherwise. This paper argues that the movement in fact developed a striking and self-aware protest aesthetic. Moreover, this still influential self-referential visuality emphasized the spectacular forms of defiance, contributing, in doing so, to African American traditions of protest conventionally rooted in the oral tradition. A focus on Black Panther Party photography helps account for how the rhetorical violence which focused the BPP’s protest aesthetic became complexly indistinguishable from violent realization. Keywords: African American photography, American studies, cultural studies, visual culture, race Re´sume´ : Bien que l’ećhec du parti des Panthe`res Noires ait souvent e´te´ attribue´ a` la violence qui l’embrasait, les dossiers photographiques laissent penser le contraire. Selon le pre´sent article, le mouvement a en fait de´veloppe´ un caracte`re d’autoprotestation frappant en matie`re d’esthe´tique. En outre, ce pheńome`ne de perception autore´fe´rentiel qui conserve toujours son influence a mis l’accent sur des formes spectaculaires de de´fi et a ainsi contribue´ aux traditionnelles protestations afro-ame´ricaines classiquement enracineés dans la tradition orale. L’accent mis sur la photographie du parti des Panthe`res Noires permet de constater comment la rhe´torique violente sur laquelle s’est polarise´ ce parti est devenue complexe et impossible a` distinguer de la reálisation violente.

Annie Leibovitz
WORLDWIDE SPEAKERS GROUP LLC YOUR GLOBAL PARTNER IN THOUGHT LEADERSHIP ANNIE LEIBOVITZ Annie Leibovitz began her career as a photojournalist for Rolling Stone in 1970, while she was still a student at the San Francisco Art Institute. Her pictures have appeared regularly on magazine covers ever since. Leibovitz’s large and distinguished body of work encompasses some of the most well- known portraits of our time. Leibovitz’s first major assignment was for a cover story on John Lennon. She became Rolling Stone’s chief photographer in 1973, and by the time she left the magazine, ten years later, she had shot one hundred and forty-two covers and published photo essays on scores of stories, including her memorable accounts of the resignation of Richard Nixon and of the 1975 Rolling Stones tour. In 1983, when she joined the staff of the revived Vanity Fair, she was established as the foremost rock music photographer and an astute documentarian of the social landscape. At Vanity Fair, and later at Vogue, she developed a large body of work—portraits of actors, directors, writers, musicians, athletes, and political and business figures, as well as fashion photographs—that expanded her collective portrait of contemporary life. In addition to her editorial work, she has created several influential advertising campaigns, including her award-winning portraits for American Express and the Gap. She has also collaborated with many arts organizations. Leibovitz has a special interest in dance, and in 1990 she documented the creation of the White Oak Dance Project with Mikhail Baryshnikov and Mark Morris. Several collections of Leibovitz’s work have been published.

De film volgt Leibovitz’ leven, waarin zij uitgroeit van een enthousiaste kunstacademie-studente tot een van de meest gerespecteerde en prominente fotografen van vandaag de dag. De film toont de hoogtepunten uit Leibovitz’ carrière en gaat na hoe en waarom ze er voor kiest mensen op deze specifieke, theatrale en niet zelden provocerende manier te fotograferen. De film blikt terug op haar relatie met Susan Sontag en de invloed hiervan op Annie’s werk. Beroemdheden als Graydon Carter, Hillary Clinton, Bette Midler, Whoopi Goldberg, Mick Jagger, Yoko Ono en Arnold Schwarzenegger, allemaal door Leibovitz vereeuwigd, komen ook aan het woord. Dans ce documentaire, Barbara Leibovitz a essayé de résumer la vie et le travail impressionnants de sa sœur réputée Annie Leibovitz. Le film suit la vie de Leibovitz, pendant laquelle elle se développe d'une étudiante enthousiaste à l’académie d’art à l’une des photographes les plus respectés et de premier plan d’aujourd'hui. Le film montre les apogées dans la carrière de Leibovitz et se demande comment et pourquoi elle choisit de photographier les gens de cette manière spécifique, théâtrale et souvent provocante.
