Lena Dunham and Adam Driver by Annie Leibovitz

Lena is awesome

Everyone knows (or should know) Lena Dunham and her fantastic work. She’s a talented writer, actress and director. In case you’ve missed it, please do yourself a favor and watch HBO’s Girls. Lena has often been the target of ignorant people and internet trolls. It’s awesome she’s on the cover of Vogue, a spot not often filled by extremely talented girls as Dunham. I’m sure Vogue is not changing their whole strategy but I’d like to see more Lenas out there.

Through the Lens of Leibovitz

The photographer behind these images is Annie Leibovitz, one of my favorite photographers, as I have mentioned before. The images are stunning and Lena can be seen through out New York, which makes the series even more appealing to me.

Jessica Chastain as Princess Merida in Latest Disney Dream Portrait by Annie Leibovitz for Walt Disney Parks & Resorts

Jessica Chastain is, in my opinion, one of the most talented and beautiful actresses out there. Annie Leibovitz has been a long time admired photographer. The collaboration between the two has already led to some amazing images. Annie returns to her Disney Dream Portrait series casting the beautiful redhead as Merida from Brave and the result is amazing, as you can see. The image will be used in a new ad campaign named Where your destiny awaits.

I’ve always liked the work of american photographer Annie Leibovitz. When I was 16 my mom gave me a book with all the covers of Rolling Stone magazine. Most of them where done by Annie. Recently I watched a documentaty about her life: Annie Leibovitz: Live Throught a Lens. A very interesting documentary for anyone interested in photography. Unfortunately the movie, directed by her sister Barbara Leibovitz, is very short.

This famous picture of John & Yoko was taken by Annie 5 hours prior to Lennon’s assassination.

After working as Rolling Stone’s official photographer for many years, Annie left her job and went on working for a variety of magazines. She became famous for her celebrity portrayal and, especially, for her Vanity Fair covers which unite several actors. On Vanity Fair’s site you can check out a special of the covers she shot with several actors and actresses, like the picture below.

Master Class by Annie Leibovitz

“Master Class”: Nicole Kidman, Catherine Deneuve, Meryl Streep, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslet, Vanessa Redgrave, Chloë Sevigny, Sophia Loren, and Penélope Cruz.

And recently I discovered a very nice editorial she shot entitled “Killers Kill, Dead Men Die”. The pictures of this noire movie can be seen here and the making off can be seen here.

And to end this post, here is a picture of the photographer: Annie Leibovitz.
