Annie leibovitz

During Tim's talk in the lecture part of BDS I think that it was interesting that he talked more about the work he did with Annie Leibovitz, especially since my major is photo media. One of the interesting points he brought up was that because Annie didn't have access that most press did that her shots came out more unique. I thought that was interesting  because it forces you to have a different perspective versus what everyone else is doing. Another thing Tim mentioned a lot of was how they would take different pictures and piece them together to make one photo. It was intriguing to me because in high school i was always told to leave the photo as it was and not alter the image to make it look better so it was interesting to see the contrast in the two methods. I also think it was cool how she came up with a book where the pictures told a story about women instead of having words describe them. It was also interesting to learn how they used look a likes to plan out where people would stand when the actual people didn't have a lot of time to take the photographs. Seeing how architecture helped Tim see how to make models and figure out how images would work in the space they provided was also cool because you can see what other type of designers you might work with while doing photography. It was also cool to see the different thought train of instead of taking natural photos to kind of have a thought out photo and figure out what you want the concept to be and what would best represent that and how could you stage it. IT was really insightful to see what it would be like to work for someone who already has a well built name in the business but it made me realize that it would be an awesome experience to have but not some place i would want to stay because I wouldn't have work to call my own
