I was at a bookstore the other day and was looking through a great book on the work of Annie Leibovitz – Annie Leibovitz Portraits 2005 – 2016. I am a big fan of Annie Leibovitz’s work and have been ever since I began taking black and white photos and developing them in my darkroom back in the late 80s/early 90s. Her lighting styles, techniques, and subjects fascinated me. I have her book, Annie Leibovitz At Work, which is not only a great insight into her fantastic images but the equipment and techniques she uses too.
So, this week, I wanted to share an old Annie Leibovitz documentary from 1993, along with some of Annie’s images to get you inspired on your portrait photographic journey.
I hope you enjoy her work as much as I do.
