Annie Leibovitz:

1. List 3 people she has worked with.

Susan Sontag, Barbara Leibovitz, Barack Obama.

2. Her most famous work was from which period?

A portrait of Lennon and Yoko Ono that was published on the cover of Rolling Stone in January 1981.

​3. Include one image she has taken - not from this site or the article - and tell me why you like it as well as the type of balance is used in the image.

I like this image because it is actually a composite and i couldnt tell until it said so in the article. i think that because it was a composite it made it easier to balance for her and the picture turned out better because of that.

Gordon Parks

1. What won him widespread acclaim and a position as the first African American staff photographer for Life?

His 1948 photo essay on the life of a Harlem gang leader.

2. List 2 other things Parks did besides photography.

writing and painting

​3. Include one image he has taken from one of his archive collections - and tell me why you like it.

i like this image because of the absurdity of the size of the lobster claw compared to a normal lobster and even his head. Just a cool trophy to me i guess.
