Outstanding job Dana and Aaron! What an amazing opportunity to interview a photography legend. Her 50 plus year body of work is a National Treasure. Thank you both again for sharing your experience with us.
Oh Annie🤗 She and Mario Testino (with Annie coming in first place) are two of those living giants of photography who couldn’t be identified in any particular field of photography and who separately shaped the whole vision, distinctive aesthetics, iconography, if you will, for people like me who depends on visual part, who’s constantly searching for inspiration in images. Even fashion photographs they both took were NOT JUST ABOUT CLOTHES, it was always a story, always grand drama, always beauty in its variety of forms, shades and meanings. And what also very important Is that they both were always very generous to their subjects - very loving and caring. Even if they didn’t like ones they were extremely fair to them trough their Art… Nowadays we sadly don’t have any would-be giants in photography. Everything in nowadays photography is sterilized, the art was washed away from pictures and what’s left…well, there’s no art….these new ones don’t even bother themselves to make Art anymore😔there’s no one who in foreseeable future could become the one whose works will be immediately identified by just looking at them like when you look at Annie’s striking portrait of Lennon from 1970 and 1999 portrait of Kate Moss wearing Dior couture headpiece, or Mario’s Demi graciously lying on the dressmaker’s table and being just the most beautiful and exquisite mannequin for Jack and Lazaro of Proenza Shoulder shot in 2003 and his legendary series of portraits of Lady Di from 1997🙌🏼♥️ So happy I kept tons and tons and tons of US Vogue and Vanity Fair issues so I could anytime flip through the pages and see the greatness in the works of Annie, Mario, Avedon, Newton and Penn
