Annie Liebovitz and the Queen !
I spent untold hours looking at the works of the great photographers of our time, trying to discover one that I would feel a real connection to, for purposes of a research assignment in photojournalism...when I came upon this video. It is an amazing glimpse into the candid experience of a professional portrait photographer, in what could be considered a high stress assignment . What I love about it is that she is so in her power as the Artist, and requests that the Queen remove her crown! Something the Queen did not take to easily, and it was fascinating for me to watch Annie, hold her ground with the Monarch!!! A bit of trivia for those of you who have not heard of Annie Liebovitz: She was the last person to photograph John Lennon with Yoko, just a little while before he was shot.
