This is an example of Annie Leibovitz portraiture work. Her images are very strong and powerful displaying strong emotions. The image to the left is of a famous singer. I like how the flow of her hair has been used to create a more dramatic atmosphere. The model is positioned slightly off center and to the right, I think this composition works so well due to the position of her hair. The women flawless skin and depth within her facial features help to enhance the powerful and dramatic feel of the image. The harsh greys and blacks within this image also help to create a dramatic image, these type of tones often link to dark and powerful images and therefore help to link her to this idea.
