Photographing Alice Waters - Behind the scenes of ALICE WATERS | Vanity Fair
Annie photographed Alice Waters many times over the years, but she never felt that she had made a truly successful portrait. Alice is a pioneer of the farm-to-table food movement and a fellow MasterClass instructor. She has been photographed often in a garden, and Annie herself had photographed Alice in an apple orchard. This time she began thinking of Alice’s emblematic status. Posters for the Victory Gardens of World Wars I and II were considered.
Annie also began looking at Julia Margaret Cameron’s portraits of women and discovered that the one that seemed most like Alice was in fact Alice Liddell, the model for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.The element that became most significant in the shoot was a peach. Alice had written about peaches in a recent memoir and peaches seemed to suggest her sensual qualities. Just the right peaches were obtained with some difficulty.
The shoot took place in Alice’s front yard in Berkeley, California, with Edith Piaf singing in the background. The light that day was bright, but Annie tucked Alice into the shade of a bush. She held the peach. Annie edits the contact sheets for the entire shoot and pares them down. When she works with the technician on the computer she tries to emulate the color and light that she saw in person. She does not want to see the strobe. She tries to strike a balance of color and light to create the most natural-looking image. Editing the photo may never feel finished. Annie talks about there being another thing she might want to change, but she’s not sure what that would be.

I have just found this. Annie Leibovitz has been my hero since 1979, when I started my photography.
I am such a big fan !!! Love her work and how she works!!! Would love to spend one day watching her shoot!!
she is so amazing, found my insperation. Love her work.
The final shot shown at the end doesn't even justify whatever happened in the shoot. It looks nothing like something a photographer should be proud of.

like wtf. this cant be the final image they picked out. there is so much wrong with it.
This is so hard to watch. It’s like it was filmed in 30fps and then edited to show slow motion. ? Maybe just keep it at 24 or 30fps or film it in 60fps and then edit for the slow motion. The voice over and story by Annie is great. Then, we don’t even get to see the final image. ? I’m excited about this content. I hope it gets better.

I agree with all you said. Especially seeing a few images is to me essential to keep it interesting. It doesn't have to be the final image, i can see if they have issues posting it if they sell it, I'm no lawyer so I'm just guessing.

The lighting is flat, no life in her eyes, and that hand appearing from under the cloak looks odd, what a totally stale, lower than average shot.

I personally don't like it but it all depends what the photo is trying to evoque and how is it going to be used. In other words, context.

Peaches... it's about the peaches
This is definitely not her best work, not even close. So she makes her subject carry a couple of her favorite peaches and got a few people fussing around her and this is a "tough shoot" for her. She's being honest though.

If you know anything about photography (which doesn't appear to be the case), you'd know that the sun casts harsh, unflattering shadows in pictures. The possibility of that occurring was what made the shoot tough.

@@derricbert1366 OK. It's a "tough" shoot because she likes and prefers soft lighting. She got her subject in the bush in the shade and has two mobile light stands aka her assistants carrying a scrim and some octabox to soften the light. Harsh light doesn't necessarily make bad pictures but it's her prerogative to prefer and use soft light on her subject. I think the result is just ... meh, that's all.
For such an influential photographer you think she would understand quality content and only two videos on her channel. And what is up with that last photo 🤦🏻 whoever put this video together if they haven’t already been they should be fired. Annie if you’re listening or you read this at all hit me up I’d love to work with you.

Not your best work, the lighting, the forced atmosphere and tired same old narrative. The cinematography was out of wack also.
