Annie Leibovitz was born on October 2nd 1949 in Waterbury Connecticut. In 1970 she took a job at Rolling Stone magazine. In 1983 she began working for the entertainment magazine Vanity Fair. During the late 1980s, Leibovitz started to work on a number of high-profile advertising campaigns. From the 1990s to the present, she has been publishing and exhibiting her work.
In this image you see a woman very plainly sitting in the frame however for people who know the film that the picture has a totally different meaning. The fact the the background of the photo is dark suggests that there is something darker about her and her character but the lighting on her face tends to suggest that she is trying to appear innocent however the dark background suggests otherwise. The image is very simple are portrays the simple lifestyle lead by the character in the film.
I like the fact that this image is in black and white it really shows the simplicity and innocence of both the actor and the image. I like that the colour of the swan contrasts the colour of the actors shirt. I like that apart from the swan the rest of the picture is in very dull tones and is very linked in to each other. I feel that the fact he his showing a deadpan look and isn't really giving away any emotion. I also like the fact that he is not in the centre of the picture because it really shows off the background of the picture.
I like that in this photo all the shades are of similar colour and all appear to be very earth and natural colours this really links the setting and the photograph together giving the picture the feel that she is supposed to be there. I like that she isn't looking at the camera and appears to be looking off into the distance. I like that this is a full body portrait but she is sitting down with one of her legs up meaning that the photographer was able to be closer in to the models face but still keep most of her body in the photo.
