Annie Leibovitz has a unique
style and technique. Her main objective is to make her subject comfortable in
the photographs; this is shown through placing her subject in an environment in
which they feel comfortable. Her photos capture the characters and attitudes
behind the celebrity. Leibovitz generally will work with bold colours and
unexpected poses in her photos this is known as her trademark technique. She
draws the attention of the viewers with her almost provocative and eye catching
photos; this is shown as she is not afraid to show what no one else does. Her
lens choice was always 35mm as it was more environmental, she chose this lens
because she knew you could not come close to the subject; Annie Leibovitz
considered coming close to the subject as being boring. Annie Leibovitz sees her job
allowing her to capture a part of a person’s life in a few minutes.
This photograph of Johnny Depp isn't as provocative as the others but it does allow Johnny to be comfortable in his environment being himself. The colours in the photo are bold against the rather subtle background colours therefore illustrating Annie's trademark technique.
