Annie Leibovitz Things I Learned By NASHVILLE, TN PHOTOGRAPHER
Recently Annie Leibovitz was in Nashville Tennessee is a part of her speaking tour that she’s doing.
The event was an Evening with Annie Leibovitz at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville, TN for Nov 27, 2018.
I was not able to attend the event with Annie Leibovitz because had several other photo assignments booked at the same time that Annie Leibovitz was speaking.
So I was able to go online and rent an Annie Leibovitz documentary of the new book she is touring for.
While editing photos from an event that I had recently done.
I have just spent three days doing photography for the David Phelps Christmas barn bash and was spending the next evening’s editing VIP photos of the reception line for a special guest who had attended the event and also editing family photos Santa Claus.
So while I was editing the Christmas barn bash photos, I watched the Annie Leibovitz documentary which supports the Annie Leibovitz book tour.
Sometimes being a full-time person photographer does not allow you the opportunity to attend other photography events because you are working on your own personal photography projects that you have been hired out to do.
As I watched the documentary about Annie Leibovitz, I made a list of observations about Annie Leibovitz photography career and her personal traits on how she approached her business.
“A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.”
