Angelina Jolie photoshooting with the A7rIV and 24-70/2.8 GM II by Annie Leibovitz

Share

John McDermott spotted this szene and wrote:

In this video below it looks to me like Annie shot Angelina Jolie with an A7R IV and 24-70/2.8 GM II. which doesn’t surprise me, knowing her for a very long time. She started out with a Leica M and a Nikon F, working in a photojournalistic, documentary style. she is a great admirer of Robert Frank, Cartier-Bresson, Paul Fusco and Jim Marshall. She continually tends to go back to her roots and work as light as possible. 61 megapixels seems to convince her that medium format isn’t always necessary, though I know she has also been shooting with the Fuji GFX 100.
