Photography in Film: Documentary I

• Sally Mann Film - 'What Remains'
• Annie Leibovitz - 'Life Through a Lens'
• Produced by allies!
• Acutely visually aware
• How does filmmaker remain auteur or does the subject take control?
• Rather than looking at them we are looking through them at the world
• Show from viewpoint = Take the viewpoint
• Less critical of the subject
• Leibovitz - highly cinematic
• Biography
• Commands & manipulates the subject
• She has a vision. She is an auteur in her own right
• Life & work are inseperable
• Prolific docementation
• Simple ideas
• Deep breath and move on
• Vanity Fair cover - her work
• The Edward Steichen of vanity Fair
• Talent - she provokes people
• Susan Sontag - complemented each other
• Sometimes you just get a persona
