Portrait Photography

Annie Leibovitz creates art through portrait photography. Her portrait of Bob Dylan, Los Angles, shows Bob Dylan making a face at the camera. The white backdrop offsets his skin and hair color. She tries to photograph the spirit of her subject. Looking at this picture, it looks as if Bob Dylan is trying to be funny. By photographing him making a funny face, she has captured that emotion. Her concept is the ability to photograph the personality of the public figure that isn't always seen by the press. In other words, she tries to capture their private life and personality.
