Book Reviews of A Photographer's Life: 1990-2005
Book Review: This photographer's Life
Summary: 5 Stars
A few years ago, I had the chance to have this book in my hands. It touched me in such a way that I ended up feeling seriously sad for weeks. Not because of the melancholy in its photographs, but because I couldn't take it home with me. From that moment on, I knew Liebovitz Annie Leibovitz at Work would become both a living legend and reference to my own work. Now having the chance to buy all her books, I'm just fascinated. Whenever I open A PHOTOGRAPHER'S LIFE: 1990-2005 book, it's like riding through someone else's deep life with a given avatar... I disappear on my own real life completely. For some of us people, this book's content may be just too hard to cop with... For me, it works has a reminder that life is the most valuable "whatever" ever. Beautiful work.
Summary of A Photographer's Life: 1990-2005
?I don?t have two lives,? Annie Leibovitz writes in the Introduction to this collection of her work from 1990 to 2005. ?This is one life, and the personal pictures and the assignment work are all part of it.? Portraits of well-known figures?Johnny Cash, Nicole Kidman, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Keith Richards, Michael Jordan, Joan Didion, R2-D2, Patti Smith, Nelson Mandela, Jack Nicholson, and William Burroughs?appear alongside pictures of Leibovitz?s family and friends, reportage from the siege of Sarajevo in the early Nineties, and landscapes. The pictures form a narrative of a life rich in contrasts and continuities. The photographer has a long relationship that ends with illness and death. She chronicles the celebrations and heartbreaks of her large and robust family. She has children of her own. All the while, she is working, and the public work resonates with the themes of the life.Collections, Catalogues & Exhibitions Books
