so closed minded person ^^ if photography is not art so what is it? if you said that photography is not art because of we take pictures with a “machine” that we called camera ,how about writting? with what you write your idea on your head ? pencil? pen? or even a machine called computer ? and how did you print it?you are useing a “machine” to publish and CREATE your work ,so why does it matter? that what you caled “machine” is just a MEDIA not an IDEA.
She doesn’t simply “record”. Have you ever had any experience in photography, or have you even ever witnessed Annie’s work ethic? Photography, as well as any type of art, is identified with “sending a message” or creating an emotional connection between subject and audience. Show me a Leibovitz photograph and I’ll tell you a million things about it. I’m not a photography fanatic. I paint, draw, photograph, sculpt, write. You can’t simply delineate one art form another, unless it’s BAD.
If she is an artist then hubble telescope is a greater artist than she is. She creates nothing, she merely records. A scribe is not a poet.
That is absolutely not true whatsoever. You don’t just point and click to take a photograph. If it were that simple, everyone could do it. It involves elements of light, contrast, line, movement, composition, depth of field, texture, symmetry, pattern — all that’s essential in drawing, painting, sculpting. They’re two different types of art. Some people have a propensity towards one or the other, or both equally. Then there’s editing, which is a skill within itself; both inborn and learned.
Art and photography are not the same. Her pictures require no talent or ability comparable to a Michelangelo.
She merely captures the real world with a machine not with her mind and body.
Annie has captured some of the most iconic photographs of all time… I’m very particular about the authenticity of artists – in the sense that I don’t necessarily buy into the “abstractedness” concept of “art”. (You know, the kind that takes no skill whatsoever.) Annie has skill and she has a keen eye for line, repetition, filling-the-frame, and all forms of beauty. Just because she captured a controversial picture of a media-unfriendly teenager, doesn’t mean she isn’t any good.
i have it same.more i am working visualy,the less iam articulate,esspecialy in other languages heh. trying to get use to it
Would Dali Lama advice Sri Lankan Buddist monk to stay away from Racist act on Tamils.
None of her pictures are any good.
why do some people have to be so ugly in their comments towards anybody who has acheived anything ? You put yourself in the gutter by doing so.
Oh my god its not that big of a deal lol why are we always perverting everything? sometimes things are bad, but this fear is obsessive. i dont even feel anything sexual about it.
she would have better suited for the movie “she’s the man”
she looks like a man..i bet she wishes she had a penis and ballsack…i wish i had half the pussy vagina shes had in her life…looks like a washed out rag
She’s incredible. I’m comforted by the fact that she’s not a verbal communicator; she communicates through an internal recognition of beauty. Notice how she’s not overbearing in word-choice. She uses “simple”, “strength”, and “beautiful” frequently. I’m the same way, I can write my thoughts out in a strongly worded manner, but whenever I have to verbally describe my art, I have trouble doing it improvisationally. She’s a genius, and it really is “exclusive to her eyes”. Words can’t describe it.
She looks like Richard Gere wearing a wig
is it just me, or does she look like jeff goldblum?
…well your comments are insightful and interesting and I appreciate them. My comments (admittedly) reflect a commoner’s unaffected superficial impression. On the other hand, a bird’s eye view of an artist (or someone anointed as such) by such a person sometimes invites a much-needed re-evaluation. Or maybe they’re a testament to the plight of the underappreciated (though obviously well-paid) artist.
I admit I don’t like quite a few of her photos, but her style isn’t quite what I’d call “evocative.” Some of her best work does have a certain mood to it, but I don’t believe she’s famous for creating immersive images that take you through a variety of emotions. She’s an artist who’s made some beautiful photos of celebrities. Her cinematic compositions, lighting and use of props define her style. But she’s not a fine art photographer.
…well I’m not going to deny I know little about photography.
Art is subjective, however, and I have seen more evocative photos in my family scrap book. All this hoopla over someone taking pictures just reminds me of the emperor’s new clothes. Someone said she was an artist and that became the groupthink soundbite that no-one dares question.
bungi98 answered LaChapelle’s work nicely.
as for Richardson, he produces photos that no on else can or will. he evokes a mood and a certain character from his subjects, unsettling or disturbing as the final results may be. his stark white, flash-flooded photographs strike some as “amateur,” but it’s just simply not. it’s an intentional aesthetic that he’s adapted for himself that serves the same purpose as Richard Avedon’s blank, white backgrounds. it’s bare and confrontational.
someone clearly doesn’t understand photography
shes a racist.
Beautiful to look at?! Are you fuckin kidding me?
i love how she looks… she works every day to make huge celebrities look good, and she clearly does not give a fuck bout her looks. she knows that her work is about a constructed image, but her self is about just being a human being
i wonder if i can afford you dopefilm…cause u dope!
oh god pls let them be affordable
