Amy Leibovitz


 
     I realize that we went over her in class and saw several examples of her work, however I really liked her pictures and wanted to see more. From what I've seen, she photographs a lot of celebrities. Additionally, her work tends to focus on full body portraiture rather than just face shots, a portion of the time dealing with full/partial nudity, like above, which depicts Lance Armstrong on his bike in the rain. I particularly liked the composition of this piece because of the contrast of his skin against the ambiguous dark background. The rain also adds an additional layer of interest to the work as a whole. Ultimately, it is a very impactful image.
     You can see a little bit more of her work here.
