Annie Leibovitz & Chris Verene

Annie Leibovitz


The controversial american portrait photographer....

I can say going through her images was amazing.  I am going to look into purchasing a book of her work just because it gives me motivation.  Not to be exact but it makes me excited.  I love her work!  I love everything about what she does and the moods she tries to create.  The irony in everything and how something so beautiful is so argumentative.

She has a way of capturing a mood and I would love to be in the room while she is doing her sketching & pre work because the idea behind some of these images blows my mind.  I like the book themes she uses.  I think that would be cool to do.

I feel like I'm saying LIKE a million times but I have never really looked thru her images like I have now.

I love the ones of Miley and I didn't choose them because of it being some of her more recent work but because of the aesthetic of the collection.  Here are some of my favorites.....


I love the moments she captures.  The impromptu looks the celebrities give.  Amazing!

Chris Verene

So documentary, eh?!  I'm not sure how or what kind of feelings are invoked when I looked at Chris' work.  Candid shots that are simple or not.  The color is amazing but I can't tell what is thought out and what is candid.  Or is it all meant to look candid when it's not really.  I think the concept is cool & I love the rawness.  The unplanned things.

I don't have alot to say about it.  The work as a whole is interesting and the ideas behind it simple.  He uses the frame well.
