I have always loved this photo and in the past but had no idea that it was by Leibovitz. I love this image so much because it sets the entire tone of the film and displays so much emotion.

2. How would you describe Leibovitz's style of photography? How does she create visual narratives?

I think Leibovitz captures the truth, and often is able to capture a story because she catches the subject off guard which truly captures their personality.

3. What was your favorite part of the movie? I enjoyed the entire film, but the part I liked the most was when she talked about the process of a photoshoot and you could see how many people were involved and how complicated the process was.

4. What did you learn about portrait photography from the video that you could apply to your own people/portrait photography? I learned how complicated a photoshoot actually is. I think it's helpful to be comfortable with the subject and make sure that they are comfortable with the photos being taken.
