Annie Leibovitz Teaches Photography | Official Trailer | MasterClass

In her MasterClass, award-winning photographer Annie Leibovitz teaches her process for working with light, creating concepts, and finding your point of view as an artist. You’ll not only learn her photography techniques, but also be inspired to try new ways of approaching your craft.

Annie Leibovitz has created iconic photographs of the world’s greatest leaders and artists over a career that spans four decades. From her intimate portraits of John Lennon to her dynamic images of Serena Williams, Annie’s work has graced the covers of hundreds of magazines, including Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, and Vogue.

The first woman to be named chief photographer at Rolling Stone in 1972, Annie has since been exhibited in the Smithsonian Institute , the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the National Portrait Gallery. Some of Annie’s most iconic images include Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A. album cover, John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s “kiss” portrait, and Demi Moore’s often-imitated pregnancy portrait for the 1991 cover of Vanity Fair.

Annie’s MasterClass will take you beyond the technical and into the art of photography. Join her on a live photo shoot to get rare insight into the process of her work, from research, planning, and scouting locations to interact with both her team and the subject.

In video lessons and a workbook tailored to each chapter, you’ll learn how to tell a story in a single still and imbue your images with art and dimension.

In her online photography class, Annie teaches you how to:
• Research your subject
• Sharpen your observation
• Come up with photo concepts
• Establish a rapport with your subject
• Create effective lighting
• Develop your storytelling
• Approach photography as both an art and craft
• Improve your skills by taking family portraits

"Not about the camera" Of all the people on this earth I am glad she said that. I've believed that for years.

Being back the old logo. The new one is remarkably embarrassing.

Can you redo this course with a real photographer who isn’t a boring tired unoriginal old hack and tryhard please? I would like to learn actual photography. Guess I’ll just do the Garry Kasparov chess class instead.
