Annie Leibovitz

Image
 Annie Leibovitz By: Amanda Schaeffer               I learned about Annie Leibovitz and her incredible work in my photography classes. Leibovitz is best known for rising into fame when she was part of Rolling Stones and with her celebrity portraits. She is also famous for her iconic pieces such as the John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Whoopi Goldberg, and Caitlyn Jenner. She is an inspiration to look up to due to the quality and effort she takes to capture her photographs. However, for me, the above image of Lauren Hutton attracts me the most with her face being the dominant viewpoint of the image while isolating everything else in the brown mud. I love all of Annie Leibovitz's work, but this one of Lauren Hutton grabs my attention the strongest.               I've always loved Annie Leibovitz's work and see how good of a quality she can get within her pictures. It amazes me the talent she has capturing all the...

Inspiration for Final Project

Image
 Justin Kimball By: Amanda Schaeffer               My final project is about capturing buildings and important landmarks around my county. I want someone from Schuylkill county to look at my photographs and say "that's my county" due to knowing the important scenery shots. My county is an extremely rural/farmland area and doesn't have a lot of population. Which is why I chose Justin Kimball for my inspiration for my final project.

Which is basically what I'm going for, to showcase where we live at and how we see our county.               Justin Kimball inspired me for my final project on capturing the details of our county's specific landmarks. If you go to his website, under the "Elegy" tab, you will find old abandoned homes, landscapes, and even pools. The picture above is the photo I chose due to the scenery vi...

Magnum Photo Assignment

 Hannah Price https://www.magnumphotos.com/photographer/hannah-price/ By: Amanda Schaeffer               I picked Hannah Price for the Magnum Photo Assignment due to her photographs standing out to me. I researched her work and saw she had a series of "Brotherly Love" where she took pictures of Philadelphia life of people and the conditions the city has that they have to live with. I love Philadelphia because the city is only two hours away from where I live and my family likes visiting there and watching the Phillies baseball team. Maybe I'm biased of why I chose her since she did take so many photos in Philadelphia and I love that city, but I can say that I still like her work nonetheless.                One of her works that caught my eye was the above photograph of a young woman in front of a car in a neighborhood. This image really intrigues me since the main focus is the woman, but the backgr...
