Annie Leibovitz- Leonardo Dicaprio

I uploaded this photo simply because I think this is a beautiful photo of  Leonardo Dicaprio, it show's a very soft and gentle side to him. Annie Leibovitz created that feel by setting it in a simple black and white theme and placing the swan around his neck, with him holding onto it very comfortingly.
The simple background help's draw the viewers eye towards Leanardo. This can be seen as a good contrast example. And also an asymmetric.
This is another photo taken by Annie Leibovitz of Leanardo Dicaprio.
I like this photo because again it shows a soft and gentle side of him. Annie Leibovitz does this by placing a small harmless animal on his hand making him look observant and caring. She also uses subtle lighting to emphasis his hand and face.
Again she has used black and white for this photo which I like because I think if it wasn't black and white it wouldn't be a very effective photo. And the colours would end up drawing the viewers eye towards something different other than Leanardo's hand.

I created this slideshow myself on Annie Leibovitz it has references to her work with rolling stones and vanity fair and much more information about Annie Leibovitz herself.

I really like all of Annie Leibovitz work on the rolling stones, most of them are taken all in black and white which I like, it makes them look more old fashioned. I'd love to take some photo's like this myself. I would love to go on tour with any band just to get some experience of working with other people.
I also really like her photo of Demi Moore when she was pregnant I would think it is a very personal photo for Demi and has a lot of sentimental value to her. I would also like so take some photo's of young children such as my little cousin because photo's like that mean a lot when you are older.
Annie Leibovitz has a lot of celebrities in her Vanity Fair photo's which obviously made them more popular and more interesting to the public and the reader's of the magazine. I like all of the outfits used in the Vanity fair photo's,they are very creative and elegant especially the group photo's she had taken of people such as Julianne Moore,Jennifer Connelly, Jennifer Aniston,Diane lane and more.

Annie Leibovitz

Here is a photo I found on this site http://nobodyintheartworld.tumblr.com/post/3290855188/annie-leibovitz-a-photographers-life-1990-2005
I posted it because Annie Leibovitz doesn't feature in any of her photography so you wouldn't really recognise her. And I also like the overall look of the photo it look's very old fashioned and some of the background is out of focus drawing more attention towards her,the waiter,the man on the far left and the lady beside her.

Independant Research-Annie Leibovitz


FACTUAL:All of these photo's are by Annie Leibovitz, and most of them are from her disney collection,also featured with the vogue fashion magazine.  The model used in many of the Alice in Wonderland photo's is Natalie Vodianova.
TECHNICAL:I really like all of Annie Leibovitz disney photo's they are all very colourful and creative. And my favourite photo is probably the last photo with Natalie Vodianova and the two men in the suits. Its look very fairytale and the costume's are very colourful and playful. They really fit to the disney theme.

AESTHETIC:I also like the way Annie Leibovitz uses a variety of colours such as the first photo it is all blue and the whole theme is the ocean. Then there's the black and white photo,I especially like this because it looks quite old fashioned and the way the lighting is on the dress emphasises the ruffles in the layers.

CONTEXT: There are many photo's that Annie Leibovitz has taken in the style of Disney but these are the photo's I have chosen because they caught my eye.

All of the Alice and wonderland photos are quite natural and sweet colourful photo's, they all contain the same theme colours that really fit the theme of alice and wonderland. She has done a brilliant job in keeping the photo's connected to the Disney feature.

 I would like my personal photo's that are in the theme of Annie Leibovitz to look like these disney ones.
