Annie Leibovitz
Disney Series
Where memories take hold and never let go
"I made the decision to do portraiture because it has a lot of latitude", she says. She steps across the imaginary boundary and be the creative Journalist. She doesn't think of herself as a technical photographer. She is very sensitive about who she lets around her when she works. Most of the disney series photos are famous because she uses celebrities in most of the photos. In this picture, Queen Latifah is posing as Ursula from "The Little Mermaid". She used a green screen and props in her studio to take most of the disney pictures. The Walt Disney company approached her to do a series to promote their "Year of a Million Dreams".
Where your destiny awaits
What we can learn from Annie
Annie creates her shots. She says that photography is the study of light, and she uses it in all of her pictures. She went to Sarajevo where they have no electricity. So, she had to go back to natural light. She set up her complicated set to get the lighting how she liked it, to find out her pictures came out better than her artificial light pictures.
