This is a photo of Annie Leibovitz. It also includes the famous, Steve Martin. It was taken in Beverly Hills in 1981.I really think this photo is so interesting to look at. The first time I saw this from afar I didn't even realize there was a person in the picture, let alone it being Steve Martin. I first came into contact with this picture in my Photo 1 class. Annie Leibovitz use of color to me in this photo is so eye catching to me, because it looks like a standard black and white photo but it has the skin tone of Steve, as well as the slight brown tone of the framework around the painting itself. Which is a brilliant move because the picture is intended for the attention of Steve Martin and his face is the main focus due to the lack of color surrounding him.
As well as the composition of this photo is amazing to me, because it could have just been cropped with him standing in front of the painting. Annie wasn't going to have just any standard picture, So including the white ruffled sheet on the ground as well as the light fixtures above, adds so much texture to the picture as well as it keeps your eyes continuously moving.
