We asked Seattle photographer John Keatley about his portrait shot of the doyen of the modern glamour shot, Annie Leibovitz: ‘One of the things that I found out during my research is that Annie looks through her camera with her left eye. That was interesting to me, and I thought about photographing her as if she were looking through a camera. My original thought was to have her closing one eye, but when I explained this to her, she started using her hands around her face. I really liked how this looked, and told her that I wanted to continue with that idea. That pose ended up being the one that I connected with the most’.

I LOVE the portrait of Annie… and I love her work!
I look through the camera with my left eye as well and never thought that was special ….
it gives me hope to become as good as her … one day maybe???!!!

Okay so Annie uses her left eye and it has nothing whatsoever to do with all those thousands of other pictures of famous people covering one eye? I don’t buy it! It seems like everybody in mains stream media is doing this these days, I’d like to know why.
