Annie Leibovitz

Annie Leibovitz found her love for photography at the age of fifteen while her dad was stationed in the Philipines during the Vietnam Conflict.  She then attended the Art Institute of Philidelphia where she ventured down several different paths artisticly.  She wrote songs and music and finally settled on photography.  
     I am really interested in her photography because the style is almost surreal, almost computer generated. Though the models and the content are real, the finished product screams CGI, or computer generated.  I really enjoy her use of color, or sometimes, the lack thereof.  Most of her pics have the "Victorian" feel to it, stressing the spectrum of Ivory and skin tones.  I would really love to attempt a reproduction of her work, as I might do that for part of my final.
