Anna-Lou Leibovitz is a famous American portrait photographer, in the beginning of her career she started working for one of the most popular magazines which was called ' Rolling Stone', she worked there as a photographer. She received an award of The Royal Photographic Society's Centenary Medal and Honorary Fellowship in the 1980s, Her photography usually has soft lighting creating more of a natural look to the images. I noticed that the poses in the images are very natural and not over done which in my opinion is more flattering having a soft light and natural pose rather than the usually poses that models do which are very unnatural and does not look realistic. The backgrounds that he tends to choose are minimal and does not distract the viewer from the actual image especially when the images are very soft and natural looking.
