ANNIE LEIBOVITZ

Mercredi 1 septembre 2010

I don’t think Annie Leibovitz really needs an introduction but just so you know, she was the chief photographer for the Rolling Stone magazine in the 70′s. During that time she shot 142 covers including the one of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. That particular photograph was the last one of Lennon, he was killed five hours later. In 1983 she started working for Vanity Fair and in 1998 for Vogue. She is also the woman behind a lot of major ad campaigns working for clients like the Gap, Louis Vuitton, Disney Land, Got Milk, American Express and so on. She had numerous shows in important art institutions such as the Brooklyn Museum and she released  seven officials books. She also had an love affair with Susan Sontag, the writer of the famous On Photography essay. Last year Annie Leibovitz received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the notorious Infinity Awards.

Here is a great documentary about her life and works. It’s really funny to have insights from the celebrities and it’s very interesting to have the chance to see what it looks like behind the scenes of her photo shoots.

TIERNEY GEARON

Mercredi 25 août 2010

These images are highly personal, keyed to Gearon’s own life, reflecting its apparently equal helpings of chaos and stability. But they also remain strangely anonymous and distant. They speak of particulars but also tap into ubiquitous questions about life. Freezing these moments seemingly through children’s eyes, Gearon presents us with the children’s complex mixture of innocence and insouciance, which comes from experiences as yet unmediated by grown-up sensibilities. Any questions we have as we look into these images are bounced back at us as the young counterparts concentrate on life lived.
