Annie Leibovitz is an American portrait photographer well known for her engaging celebrity portraits. The intimate poses capture the personality of her subjects. Leibovitz does not believe in objectivity, and that everyone has a point of view, and once you trust the point of view, you are able to take photographs that contain a deeper meaning and narrative.
Leibovitz’s intimate staged moments project the personalities of her celebrity subjects. The images allow us to see the celebrities as regular human beings, who have thoughts and feelings just like the average person. We are able to relate to these stars and feel as though we are making a true connection with them.
