Annie Leibovitz
Arguably the most famous photography of the last forty years, Annie Leibovitz gets to order around stars including, well everyone really. Seriously, think of someone famous or cool, and she’s taken their picture, and in her signature style. Her photos are constantly reproduced and include the last professional picture of John Lennon and that naked snap of Demi Moore. She’s probably best known for her Vanity Fair covers and spreads that incur huge expense to produce amazing pictures, that are always easily worth the money.
Annie Leibovitz’s career started with Rolling Stone and has since involved musicians, models, actors and even wars. Her accolades include being a Commandeur des Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government and designated a living legend by the Library of Congress. Several coffee table books of her pictures are available, exhibitions of her photos are constantly touring, and recently an excellent film was made about her life that delves into her methods and personal history. If you like Leibovitz’s style you should probably also check out Ansel Adams, Lee Miller, and Amber Gray.

If I had a time capsule, I’d programme it to take me to all of Annie Leibovitz’s photo shoots from 1970 to now. Highlights for me would be Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 Rolling Stone cover, the extremely personal last photographs of John Lennon and Yoko Ono (which were shot five hours before Lennon’s death in 1981), and Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A album cover shoot.

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’.
Beautiful, delicate, fragile, a little bit collage, a little bit sketchfull. This is the work of Kelly Smith. Combining several mediums in a collaborative expose between pencil, paint and print to create timeless works of elegant splendour, it is easy to compare Smith’s works to the last snowflake of winter, fleeting but real, avoiding the brash bright mercantile world for the prettier climes of illustrative pleasure. Smith has a twelve-day exhibition on at the 696 Space in Brunswick, Melbourne, opening November 14.

Describing their sound as ‘nihilist suicide pop’, Rome-based quartet Spiritual Front draws immediate comparisons to Nick Cave, but their approach to dark themes have a hint of irreverence — they inject unexpected doo-wop flares and new wave bombast to their atmospheric neofolk. Their latest album, Armageddon Gigalo, is a beautiful and catchy masterpiece for fans of Death In June, Sol Invictus, and even latter-day Duran Duran.
