Annie Leibovitz: The luckiest portait photograoher on earth!

Posted by arelente2 on April 28, 2008 · Leave a Comment

When I was reviewing Good Luck Chuck (like there was something monumental to say). I stumbled upon this promotional poster with reference to the Issue 335 cover of the Rolling Stone.

Taken on the morning of December 8, 1980, this was one of the last photographs of Lennon, who was murdered by a deranged fan (hours) later in the day.

It was the best cover since 1965.

The earliest encounter with her is from a little snippet in the Time magazine about her Wizard of Oz themed shoots in a fashion editorial for Vogue US. Even if that image in the article is about 100×200 pixels, I really want to see that photo because there is some kind of glamour and beauty.

Is it the light techniques? The lens? Or something else? Maybe it’s the Lennon-Ono thing?

I do like to think, as I’ve seen and read elsewhere and everywhere, that artists tend to give it their all when he knows the character personally, as a conversation partner, a casual friend, or even a fan.

That way, the artist can do anything with the subject without making the subject feel violated and all that lawsuit jazz.
