Annie Leibovitz

this is a collage of work by the main artist i chose to study, Annie Leibovitz. when I look at her work I can see that Leibovitz has a theme to her work. Most of what she does the theme of the image is dark and shaded, with one main focal of the photography, this tends to be a person in clothes that stand out against the dark, for example the top right, personally i see the lady in the red dress. It stands out against all the darkness of the photography. This works to make the photography stand out more, more remember able, personally i think shes does this well, if i saw most of these photograph's on line i would be able to tell that they are hers, you can tell due either to the darkness of the photograph and the dark heavy colours sometimes framed by interesting ways the shadow forms good focal point, or you can tell that they are her work by the interesting way they are taken. If she doesn't use the darkness and shadow to draw your attention she uses playfulness, they are both completely different but this is how she works. For example if you look at the bottom left compared to the photograph above, the bottom one is lots more playful.
