Portrait Photography

Mike Cloud by Annie Liebowitz and Susan Sontag. I selected this image not only becasue it was the only one when you searched the artist in ARTsor but also becasue it is funny.  The portrait photography is creative in this piece.  The normal portrait is very still while the person poses for the picture.  Think of your holiday picture. This piece takes it to the next level by utilizing someone else face. Liebowitz is known for her highly publicized photos in Rolling Stones magazine from 1970 to 1983. In 1978 Liebowitz was the first female to photograph Joan Armatrading.  Liebowitz is also the last photographer to photograph Jon Lennon before his death.
