Selected Photograph

I like staged photographs, when every detail is considered and matched with the whole atmosphere of a photograph. A photograph, in my opinion, should influence people, but also give them an opportunity and freedom to interpret it in the way they feel when looking on it.

Romeo&Juliet

by Annie Lebovitz

When looking on this photograph you feel the early morning and, of course, you know the story it describes ("For never was a story of more woe; Than this of Juliet and her Romeo"(c)); so, your attention focuses on performance. You see the light, the clothes chosen, the balcony... even movements of the actors... everything was selected and placed in a way to create a kind of harmony.
Annie Lebovitz is one of my favorite photographers. Every her work includes an unique idea and professional performance of it.
