Annie Leibovitz.

I love photography. I can really appreciate it. There is one photographer that I would have to claim as a favorite, and her name is Annie Leibovitz. Many may of heard of her because of the drama with Miley Cirus last summer, claiming her photos were sleazy- but never the less I still admire Annie's work greatly. She photographs celebrities mostly. And with that she seems to posses an endless fountain of creative ways to shoot pictures of them. My favorites of hers though, are one's she does for VOGUE and other fashion clips.

Annie also did a photo shoot inspired by classic Disney stories, like Alice in Wonderland. I adored these photos and greatly admire Annie's creativity and talent. I'm sure her photos were just as much fun to take as they are to look at. But I wonder where she gets all of this talent and creativity from. I know that there are numerous artists out there that have bold and eye catching pieces, but there is something about Annie's vision I just find breath taking. However, on the flip side, there are some photos that I'm not exactly fond of. I personally have never been one to understand the art of the human naked body, or what kind of symbolism it is supposed to portray. Annie seems to have a taste for naked photos, though they aren't ones that expose completely. I suppose I just love clothes and I see the fashion pictures she takes that I just don't understand why she wouldn't want to do that all of the time. A bit of variety makes things interesting I guess. Taking pictures of similar things and styles become quite a bore I imagine.

This picture was the first one of the bunch that I found on google. I was initially intrigued of the fact that it was such an optical illusion, after doing some further research, I discovered it was part of the Alice in Wonderland Vogue photo shoot.

When I watched this part when I was little, I was always so afraid for poor Alice. The Queen of Hearts was absolutely dreadful and I hated the fact that she was a cheater in their game as well.

The Cheshire cat was one of my favorite characters when I was little. An image that I always seem to recall is when he's in the tree and he slowly starts to disappear, stripe by stripe.

This is a personal favorite. I absolutely adore the suits that Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb are wearing, I think they're hilarious.

This is another optical illusion photo which just further stretches my amazement with what all the photo industry can do. I love it. The opportunities are endless.

The tea party was another part I loved. The two of those characters were just so wacky and chaotic. Perfectly fun for a child my age at the time.

Recalling the memory of this scene certainly made me laugh out loud. I love finding the hidden inappropriate parts of children's stories.

Now I know these pictures don't occur in order of the story, nor are they they entire photo shoot, but they are ones that I sincerely enjoyed and found amusing. And this is just a small excerpt of Annie's work, I'm sure I'll find another photo shoot of hers that I will fall in love with and then feel obligated to blog about. Photography is just so much fun when you find artists who are willing to take risks and experiment with it!
