Assignment 4: independent research

Annie Leibovitz

FACTUAL: this is a photograph of Lucy Liu, who posed for Annie Leibovitz
TECHNICAL: i think that she took this picture in a studio with artificial lighting but through a diffuser to make the light not so harsh on the subject in the photograph. she has gotten Lucy Liu to pose in a relatively natural pose but one of which that is still classed as interesting.
AESTHETIC: what i like most about this shot is that it is simple and not overloaded with colours making it simple but not 'empty' or 'uninteresting' as the subject almost fills the frame and gives the viewer plenty to look at.
CONTEXT: this is one of the end products of Annie Leibovitz's shoots with Lucy Liu.


FACTUAL: this is one of Annie Leibovitz photographs
TECHNICAL: this photograph was taken outdoors on an overcast day with the camera on a tripod to stop any problems happening with a 'wonky' photograph or blurring, which is also reduced by the shutter speed of the lens
AESTHETIC: what i like most about this photograph is the contrast in colours between the bold red dress of the model and the 'dulled' and almost 'murky' colours of the building behind her. i think it is a great way to draw the eye to her and to make the photograph look great. where she is positioned in the photograph is also a great addition.
CONTEXT: i believe this to be a 'photo shoot' for a model or a brand of clothing but i cannot be sure about it.
