Annie Leibovitz

Annie Leibovitz


I decided to write article about her, just because I think she's amazing.
Nowadays she is one of the most popular photographs.It's not because she works for VOGUE, it's because she can work with every kind of people and has real talent and brilliant ideas.I respect her because she didn't stop looking for new inspirations  and challenges. She's woman who lives/lived hard and full life.
 Annie was born in Connecticut in 1949. She was growing up with 5 siblings. When she went to college she decided to study art. After an year, she asked herself: "who am I going to be after I graduate?" She didn't like possible answers and decided to take class of photography.And surprisingly she liked it. She looked at photography as a life in a frame. Yes I think that photography is a life in a frame. She thinks that her parents helped her to become photograph. why?- In Annie's childhood  parents liked to take trips on cars, so Annie could see life in a window of the car, later that windows become the lens.
Her career started with work at Rolling Stone. Her first remarkable photo was
that:


this photo was taken in the moment when Richard Nixon left white house. The most interesting part in this picture are soldiers taking carpet.

This picture is really funny it's Blues Brothers:

This picture is about movie called : The rose (1979)
Bette Midler was really delighted when she saw hundreds of roses without thorns.Annie took them all off before she was waiting for Bette to arrive at photo shot.
Patti Smith  (fire was Annie's idea)


I think this picture is familiar for you. After 5 hours from taking this picture John Lennon was murdered. Yoko says that this pose for photo was John's idea, and Annie was for them really familiar person, so this photo  shot was nothing like photo session. picture is taken at Yoko and John's house. Next day this photo was cover of Rolling stone's magazine.This photo brought this magazine real fame.

Then Annie decided to go at tour with Rolling Stone.

She become really very close  with band and took thousands of photos, but something bad happened than: during this tour she became drug addict as the whole band. Later she lost her job in Rolling Stone. Then She gave up drugs. 





These pictures were taken by Annie during filming documentary movie about Arnold Schwarzneger. Arnold says that he and Annie are close friends , and during this photo shot's he somehow couldn't notice that somebody was taking photos.


Annie decided to take photo of dance. She became close with ballet dance group. And become close friend of Mikhail Baryshnikov.
So here I show you some photos of Mikhail and other dancers.
I just really love this picture. I don't know why but I see how sophisticated are the moves of this man.






Later she gave up trying of picturing the dance. Because dance isn't a second it is multiples of seconds and you cant see them in a just one frame.

I want to show you Annie's photos which made some people wake up famous the next day.


Whoopi Goldberg

Demi Moore (Painted Suit :))

I think you know this picture of her , because it was judging everywhere after publishing it:

Both photos were taken for Vanity Fair


Ellen DeGeneres

Anna Wintour said that Annie Leibovitz is fantastic photographer and if she ask Nicole Kidman to be on the cover of VOGUE Nicole may tell that she won't come, but if she tell her that Annie Leibovitz will take her pictures, she will be in VOGUE's office immediately. And as you know Anna rarely tells good stuff about people.

Here I want to show you some nice photos taken by her, for VOGUE, Vanity Fair and LIFE magazine.
