Photographer of the Week
For my photographer I choose Annie Leibovitz. She's an American portrait photographer. She became the first woman to have an exhibition at the Washington's National Portrait Gallery. For 10 years she was the chief photographer for the Rolling Stone.
Her photography stands out in the way she shows the emotion of her subjects. Mostly portraits she's is able to capture the mood of every photo she takes.
Leibovitz was offered a job at Rolling stone in 1970, where she created a new look for the magazine. In This she began her journey to fame.
Lynsey Addario
"It's What I Do," by Lindsey Addario has been a pleasure to read so far. Addario is am compelling author with an amazing story of her claim to fame. She starts the book setting an intense seen that hooked me in. In chapter one she writes abut her childhood, which really surprised me. Her overcoming the change of her dad moving out with another man and starting a new life impressed me, beginning her photography career with a small basic camera in another country was inspiring. How she went and accomplished her dream with so little. She never gave up going back everyday checking in with different establishments trying to get work.
My favorite photo so far, is the one of the women in the blue burqa standing in the dessert with the blue sky in the background. The colors and the positioning of the whole photo stunned me when I first looked at it. It made me want to create something just as beautiful.
