Annie Leibovitz Career Timeline

Career Timeline
I used this website to help me with my slideshare on Annie Leibovitz, it came in handy to see when she did things and what things came first. Then from this i googled individual photographs.

Summary of Annie Leibovitz and her work.

Over this term i have been studying Annie Leibovitz work and by doing this i have learnt lots of new things about how she works, her photography and photography in general in addition to ways in which i can present my photograph, last of all i have learnt new ideas for photographs and how to take them.

  • Annie Leibovtiz is a portrait photographer that works with famous people to shoot most of her photograph, she started out very small and hit a jack pot when she started working for rolling stones, this was the best thing she could have done. From there on out she because huge by photographing famous people and has done for her entire career
  • Her style is very different and original, she photographs famous people but in a fun playful way, she tends the dress them up as other people for example she dressed Alec Baldwin is dressed as the queen from snow white.  All of her photographs are very cluttered, heavy and very much CGI'ed. None of the photographs are natural, they are all set up, most of them in a studio.

help with shutter speed

  • exposure time of 0.8 Seconds.

  • 1/4000 s: The fastest speed available in most SLR cameras. Used to take sharp photographs of fast subjects, such as athletes or vehicles, under good lighting conditions and with an ISO setting of up to 800.
  • 1/2000 s and 1/1000 s: Used to take sharp photographs of moderately fast subjects under normal lighting conditions.
  • 1/500 s and 1/250 s: Used to take sharp photographs of people in motion in everyday situations. 1/250 s is the fastest speed useful for panning; it also allows for a smaller aperture (up to f/11) in motion shots, and hence for a greater depth of field.
  • 1/125 s: This speed, and slower ones, are no longer useful for freezing motion. 1/125 s is used to obtain greater depth of field and overall sharpness in landscape photography, and is also often used for panning shots.
  • 1/60 s: Used for panning shots, for images taken under dim lighting conditions, and for available light portraits.
  • 1/30 s: Used for panning subjects moving slower than 30 miles per hour and for available-light photography. Images taken at this and slower speeds normally require a tripod or other camera support to be sharp.
  • 1/15 s and 1/8 s: This and slower speeds are useful for photographs other than panning shots where motion blur is employed for deliberate effect, or for taking sharp photographs of immobile subjects under bad lighting conditions with a tripod-supported camera.
  • 1/4 s, 1/2 s and 1 s: Also mainly used for motion blur effects and/or low-light photography, but only practical with a tripod-supported camera.
  • B (bulb) (1 minute to several hours): Used with a mechanically fixed camera in astrophotography and for certain special effects.

Own work inspired by Anne Leibovitz

This is the third photograph i took inspired by Annie Leibovitz, i edited this photograph so that the background has not been affected when the photograph was edited but i changed the contrast again on holly, the model. I like the way she stands out over the whole background. I felt the background it slightly cluttered and the attention needed to be on the model not the background. so when i edited it i thought if i made the model stand out the attention would be drawn away from the background and more on the model. I did this by selecting the model and only changing things on her such as the levels.

This is my second photograph inspired but Annie Leibovitz
This photograph was set up i asked her to stand how she was, not like the last photograph where i just took it and i liked how it looked.  This one had been edited, upped contrast and little bit up on exposure, i think this makes it more like her photographs

Own work inspired by Anne Leibovitz

This is the first Annie Leibovitz inspired photograph. I took this photograph on Monday, Halloween. My friend holly dressed up and i used this as a good opportunity to take photographs in Annie Leibovitz style. This photograph was not set up but instead she was walking and i thought it looked nice, so i took the picture. And i like how she walked as i took the picture so there is movement lines around her legs. i like how they are so strong, i made these stronger when i upped the contrast and exposure. I did this to make it a stronger colour not knowing that i would have this effect, but i really like it.
