1.) Annie Leibovitz is an famous American photographer that is best know for her dramatic and engaging portraits. She was also knows for working with many celebrities. Another possible reason for her popularity could be contributed to the fact that she took the last photographs of John Lennon and Yoko Ono before their deaths. She was also the first women to have an art exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery of Washington.
2.) Nan Goldin is a contemporary American photography. She became popular in the 80s and this was due to her unique style. Her style was often described as intimate, gritty, chaotic at times and filled with symbolism of love. She was also a photography that had a main focus on showing and exposing the public to the LGBTQ community.

5.) I believe that Nan Goldin’s works are far more realistic and true to the real world then Annie Leibovitz’ works. I think it matter but only depending on the viewer of the photo, some viewers prefer a more clean cut image while there are those that enjoy the realism of candid photos.
6.) For my own portraits, I would personally like Nan Goldin more. This is because I have always been in love with photography that doesn’t not looked stage but feather photos that looked like the photographer took it at just the right moment.
