Famous Portraits


 Marylin Monroe Actress
5/6/1957, Anne Leibovitz
 Leibovitz takes photographs of famous people that are usually provocative and cause controversy. I chose this photograph because I know how famous Marylin Monroe was and that she affected American culture in a big way.


Woody Allen
1996, Arnold Newman
 He is known for taking photographs for magazines of famous people and set a standard in photography. I chose this photo because I know many of the films Woody Allen made.
 

Truman Capote
 1974, Richard Avedon
He took photographs of fashion and celebrity images. The photographs all had a blank white background to make the person stand out. I chose this photograph because one of his books was featured on Seinfeld.
