Book Reviews of Annie Leibovitz at Work
Book Review: The most enjoyable book on photography I've read in a long time
Summary: 5 Stars
Annie Leibovitz's simple, straightforward, honest and self-effacing look at her work and her process makes this book thoroughly enjoyable. With none of the hyper-opinionated shooting advice of many of her colleagues, she proves, to paraphrase Lance Armstrong, that "It's Not About the Gear." Whether you love her work, or hate it (and really, how can you hate it?), I think you will come to appreciate her approach to shooting, her normalcy, and her willingness to share so much of what's going through her head when she works. If you are not a photographer, I think you will still enjoy the celebrity insights, the whirlwind life, and the approach to creativity that Ms. Leibovitz describes so articulately. If you are a photographer, you will find this view of the artist at work simply inspiring.Book Review: Does Not Get Any Better
Summary: 5 Stars
If one has a passion for photography - this book is a gentle masterpiece. Annie Leibovitz has not only shown us the finished product of so many interesting photographs; she has shared how and why she shot as she did. Her depth of knowledge regarding the history of this art makes the reading all the more enjoyable. Moreover, her honesty and humility about her work is beautiful. As such, for those who have some understanding of the history of photography and of cameras in general, the reader feels as if he/she is having a conversation w/ the author. I read the book in one sitting. For those who simply appreciate creative and sometimes stunning photographs, and enjoy great story-telling, this book is a smash hit on all fronts!Book Review: Great insight
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're trying to find a book to learn photographic technique move on! Nothing to see here. If however you want an insight into the work of a great photographer this is a great autobiography.
Easy, relaxed reading, with very little technical stuff. Still very inspirational.
Shares much of the text with Annie Leibovitz: Life Through a Lens but the book is more focused on the work (as the title suggest) while on the DVD she shares more of her personal life too. Even this small difference shows perfectionisem called Annie Leibovitz.
Book Review: Straight to the point, no-nonsense approach
Summary: 5 Stars
I went to the event with Annie Leibovitz, in Barnes & Noble at Union Square on rainy evening in New York winter. Getting this book, signed by her was one of the perks. The book is nicely designed, and well structured.
In a casual tone, Annie is leading us through her life as a Rolling Stone photographer to the point of being celebrity photographer...
There is interesting chapter 10 the most asked questions, where she explains some technical stuff, talks about digital transition and importance of having excellent assistants. And it's fun. Go and get it if you have any interests in photography as a medium.
Book Review: An insight on the work of an inspiring photographer
Summary: 5 Stars
About the book physics just what you would expect on the hardcover version, beautifully done, good prints, well chosen photos.
You can read it in a weekend, it's hard to stop once you start, even though is divided in small chapters, so you can read it time to time.
Simply a good source of inspiration, for new photographers it has advice and peace on mind, by reading from a famous photographer that you're not alone and that she has experienced some or more or most of the things that could probably make you feel embarrassed about your photographic journey.
