Annie Leibovitz

 

    Annie Leibovitz is an American photographer. She was born on October 2nd, 1949 in Waterbury, CT. She often takes pictures of celebrities. 

    I particularly like this photo because it is inspired by the Disney animated movie Brave. This is a movie that I loved as a kid and still love now. Leibovitz did a great job with it because I was immediately able to identify that this was supposed to be inspired by that movie upon first glance at the picture. I think that the costuming helps to show the culture that meant to be portrayed (Scottish.)  I think that the contrasting between the grey clouds, the silky black horse, the green velvet dress, and the model's orange hair ties together perfectly to set a mood of fierce but still fairy tale-esque. Even the expression on the model's face brings so much to the picture. She seems to have a smug confidence, it makes me think that she can do anything. Another element that plays well into this picture is texture. It looks as though the viewer could touch the horse and the dress. I think that Leibovitz did amaxing with this photo, I don't think that there is any way that this image could be improved.
