First Analysis

Annie Leibovitz is an American photographer. She was born on October the 2nd, 1949.
In high school, she became interested in art, and began to write and play music. She attended the San Franciso Art Institute, where she studied painting, for a couple years. She continued to develop her photography skills while working various jobs.

Annie's type of work is taking photgraphs of celebrities. There for the picture what I chose fits in as Meryl Streep is a celebrity. Annie was hired by The Walt Disney Campeign to take photos of celebrities in various rolls and scenes for Disney Parks Year Of Dreams.

The photo I chose is quite a simple and plain picture. It is a close up of Meryl the lighting is quite paticalar. There has been shade created on the eyes. There is no shadow in the background which we can see.

I really like this picture because to me it gets across that she is pinching parts of her body that she does'nt like or wishes was'nt there. Meryl's eyes almost seem to tell a story of what she is thinking and what she wants to get across. She has alot of depth to herself and what she wants to tell people. I think this picture is well taken because all of her face is in the picture. Her face is white then with a dark green background its like she wanted to stand out. The only bit of colour on her face is her lips and cheek bones as if they are highlighting her best assets.
