Talent, that runs deep.


Okay, so apparently there are photographers and then there is Annie Leibovitz. A friend of mine is studying photography and art and can't seem to have enough words for her. Very uncharacteristic.
But then she dropped the magic words, Disney, Football players, and Fashion magazines.
And really, which girl could have resisted? She is a portrait photographer, and has done some fabulous work with Disney. Really, when I see talent like this, I feel proud, and worthless all at the same time.

"Where every Cinderella story comes true"

Scarlett Johansson as Cinderella

"Where your every wish is our command"
Whoopie Goldberg as Genie.

"Where a whole new world awaits"
Jennifer Lopez as Jasmine, Marc Anthony as Alladin.

"Where wonderland is your destiny"
Beyonce as Alice, Lyle Lovett as March Hare, Oliver Pratt as Mad Hatter

"Where you are the fairest of them all"
Rachel Wiesz as Snow White

Lord, have some mercy! Okay, so it was because of Ronaldo that I chose this picture. But that doesn't mean that the photograph is not amazing. And look at that woman gaping, who can blame her?

There ought to be a law against this kind of heat radiation. Surely it's resulting in Global Warming.
No, surprises that Kaka, with the most clothes on still looks the hottest. Oh, the perks of being a talented fashion photographer.

I have always thought that it's not merely the talent that makes you good behind the lens. Its a lot about your thought process, your creativity, and doesn't this picture just prove that to be correct?Penguins, with a group of Men in tux. And making that look not only good, but logical, plausible, is surely a talent in itself

Pretty women made to look even prettier, make for a pretty picture.
Not to mention, the pretty dresses.

If ever the Queen, can be made to look more regal, yet humbling, this is surely it. Fairytale Royalty.

Weather she's making fairytale campaigns, photographing half nude football players or the royalty itself, her work is not merely a picture. Not just a click of a button. Her work is a piece of art. There is a depth in it, humanity in it, yet its larger than life. I bow to thee, Annie Leibovitz.
