I found a website about Annie Leibovitz's Disney pictures on Missgeeky.com. I embedded the URL into slideshare and added it to my blog. This website contains all of the photographs that Annie Leibovitz took in her Disney collection, it tell you who is in the photo and who they're dressed up to be.

This image is by Annie Leibovitz. It's an image of Mikhail Baryshnikov as Peter Pan, Gisele Bundchen as Wendy Darling and Tina Fey as Tinkerbell from the Disney film 'Peter Pan'.

This photo is from a collection of celebrities dressed and photographed as Disney characters.

I think that this picture was created with a  in rooms created to look like the rooms or places of the animated Disney films but as Peter Pan is flying, he would be held up by wires and also Tinkerbell would have been photographed separately and shrunk and placed in the air with fairy dusk added around her.

I like the slightly cartoon look of the picture because the film the picture is inspired by is an animated picture so it doesn't look completely realistic. I also like how it's celebrities that we all recognise dressed as the Disney characters that we all know.

This image was taken by Annie Leibovitz. It's a photo of Rachael Weisz dressed as Snow White from the Disney film 'Snow White And The Seven Dwarves'.

This photo is from Annie's collection of Disney inspired photographs where she uses famous celebrities to play different famous Disney characters.

I think that this photo was taken in the woods but the animals might be fake or added in afterwards because it would be difficult to make the stay still around the model for that long.

I like how Annie has used celebrities who are recognised by most people and turned them into widely know Disney characters. I also like how these pictures are what the mostly cartoon characers would look like if they were real. I like how the sun comes through the trees in the background and makes rays of sunshine behind her too.

This is a photo of the singer Taylor Swift dressed as Rapunzel.

This photo was taken by Annie Leibovitz and is part of a collection of celebrity/Disney pictures.

I think that to make this photo, Taylor was photographed in a Rapunzel dress sitting at a window made on a set with fake birds and her long hair was added after and blended to look like her real hair.

I like how she is wearing a dress that is not only like the dress in the newest, Disney, version of Rapunzel 'Tangled', but it's like similar to Barbie's version of Rapunzel too. I dont know if that was a coincidence, but I like it because older people will know who it is if they watched the Barbie film and not the new Disney one. I also like how her hair is in the botom left corner so you know that it's so long it trails around the edge and comes back into the shot.

Focal Point (Annie Liebovitz)

Focal Point

The focal point of this photo is angelina because she is darker than the rest of the picture and she stands out from the gargoyles.

Composition (Annie Liebovitz)

Composition

 This photo, by Annie Liebovitz, is kinda using rule of thirds, cinderella (scarlett) is on the right of the picture and she stands out. she also breaks the pattern of the stairs with her dress. There are also leading lines, the walls on either side of the stairs. Her dress is a bright colour and it stands out.

Depth of field (Perou)

Depth of Field

This picture, by Perou, has a short depth of field because the background is not in focus. It draws your eye to the person in the picture because he is in focus and in the middle of the picture.

This picture, also by Perou, has a large depth of field because everything is in focus, my eye is drawn to the flame because it is bright colours compared to the dull background.

Lighting (John Hedgecoe, Perou)

Lighting

By John Hedgecoe

The light is coming from the top right corner. it is quite dramatic lighting and it creates very dark shadows on his fingers and under his arms.the light will not not be right next to the wall because its darker in that corner, so the light will most likely be next to the person in the picture but above them. I don't think that it would be light from a window because the light is above him and it would have to be a very high window :)

By Perou

this picture was taken outside and has natural/sun light shining on a white wall which is very bright compared to Perou's dark suit and glasses. Your eye is drawn to Perou because he is very dark compared to the white background. I also look at the shadow of leaves in the corner because they're also darker than the white bricks.

First Analysis - Perou

Perou

 

FACTUAL: This is a self-portrait of John Ralph Perou, a british photographer. He is more commmonly known as Perou. He was the photographer in Dirty Sexy Things.

The CONTEXT: This photo fits into his work because he takes lots of self-portraits and he wears darek glasses in a few of them and he usually wears similar clothes.

TECHNICAL: It was taken in a studio with a white background. And lights infront of him, you can see the rings in his glases.

AESTHETIC: I like this picture because his black jacket stands out from the white background, I also like the glasses :)
