Annie Liebovitz Portrait Photography

Annie Liebovitz was born in Waterbury Connecticut; were she was the third child out of six. She enjoyed art and music at a young age due to her father’s military duties which kept them in the Philippians for a big portion of her life. When she returned to the United States she started to blossom an became the chief photographer of Rolling stones magazines. She was well known for her Portrait Photography which is the capture by means of photography of the likeness of a person or a small group of people, in which the face and expression is predominant. Usually the objective is to display the likeness, personality and even the mood of the subject. In this portrait of the famous punk rock star Iggy Pop she displays him with his shirt off. Maybe representing that, even though he may look old he is still young in his heart. he still has sign of a six pack when you look at the picture to the left but when he turns around you see many wrinkles on his lower back. when you look at his depressing face is could symbolize that rock stars party like their kids and one day it catches up with to them.  I really like Liebovitz work because she really knows how to capture emotion.
