It was interesting to read the photographer's thoughts on various photographs. This was a quick read ... fun to get the inside scoop on the background of some of those famous photos.

Molto buono. Una voce modesta sincera (che non lesina di raccontare il lato tecnico delle fotografie, di solito evitato da molti fotografi) e in generale una panoramica su una fotografa importante soprattutto per un preciso momento storico (anni '70-80) e per la definizione di uno specifico genere di ritratto.

I have always thought og Leibovitz as a fashion photographer, but this book reveals how much more than that she is. The dominant theme of her photographic style is portraiture, but the variety of subject matter is very apparent through this presentation, which spans her work as a photojournalist and ad photographer as well as her time working for the major fashion publications. It's always true that photographers rarely cover only one type of photography, and Leibovitz is no different ub her evolution as an artist. I was most surprised by the section of war photos, taken during and after the conflicts in Sarajevo and Rwanda, which proves that the intensity of Leibovitz's portraits and subjects are not confined to the pages of Vogue and Vanity Fair.

Leibovitz addresses young photographers and readers interested in what photographers do, but any reader interested in contemporary history will be fascinated by her account of one of the richest bodies of work in the photographic canon.

O Suficiente. ( )
