FACTUAL: Annie Liebowitz is an American portrait photographer, born October 2nd 1949. She is most famous for being the chief photgrapher of Rolling Stone magazine.
CONTEXT: This photo is one of many celebrity portraits by Annie, a lot of these portraits feature the famous people wearing little or no clothing. Miley Cyrus is the well known subject.
TECHNICAL: The photograph is fairly well lit but the colour has been reduced and the contrast increased, causing her hair and lips to appear unnatural shades. You are first drawn to the subjects face because she is looking into the lense and it seems as if she is making eye contact with the viewer.
AESTHETIC: I like this photo because it contains an element of danger and mystery because the subjects lips are blood red and her facial expression is almost a smirk.
Another good post Ashley - when was it taken?
