Annie Leibovitz: Life Through a Lens

On Tuesday, I went along with other wedding photographers to watch a documentary about Annie Leibovitz at the Cinema Nouveou in Cavendish Square. The movie was called Annie Leibovitz: Life Through a Lens. This documentary takes a look at the life and work of this famous American photographer. She is famous for her celebrity portraits, including the pregnant and nude Demi Moore cover, Nelson Mandela, John Lennon hours before he was shot, and Whoopie Goldberg in a bath of milk. She is also famous for her images in Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair magazines.


One thing that I picked up from her is that her camera travels every where with her and she regularly takes photos of family friends and people around her. Besides her wonderful advertising and magazine work, her photojournalism is outstanding! She really studied her subjects and photograph them in such a way to bring forth their personality. This is something that I can apply in my weddings photography and portraits.

It was great inspiration for the new season ahead. If you are a photographer or if you love art and photography, go and see this movie.
