Last weekend I decided hit up  World’s Biggest Bookstore , one favourite places in Toronto. Actually I was there as part of a quest to find TCHAD magazine as I have some work in the latest issue. After calling 4 other Chapters location and visiting 2, this location said they had it and so I made the trip down only to find out… it was the WRONG issue. Grrrr. Apparently they haven’t received the latest issue. Anyway, I didn’t mind it too much as I love going to this store. The title doesn’t quite hold true these days and it’s not the prettiest place but they still have a huge selection compared to my local Chapters.  I love their magazine section! Tons of stuff and they always have a really good selection of those snazzy super thick fashion, art and architecture magazines.

Anway, I was just flipping through a mag and fell upon this Louis Vuitton campaign featuring Angelina Jolie. I LOVE this photo. I don’t really care for LV but I think Angelina is pretty awesome. Although I do enjoy her movies, it’s probably mostly because of her humanitarian work…and that she’s totally down with my homeland Cambodia :)  Either way, I love the colours and composition of this photo and it was also shot by one of my favourite photographers,  Annie Leibovitz. Cool behind-the-scenes video too, check it out!

 

I always love watching behind the scenes footage of shoots, especially when they’re as grand as this. I love this woman’s work. Sure she has a huge team working with her but you can’t deny her talent and vision which brings it all together. I think I like how she brings a feeling of moderness and realness to what typically is grandeur Hollywood. I also had the chance to check out her exhibition at Fotografiska when I was in Stockholm last summer, tons of amazing work there. It was even cooler to see the images in real print and not a magazine. This is just an excerpt from the DVD “Annie Leibovitz: Life Through A Lens”. I realized this is only a clip but from other videos that I’ve seen,  it’s amazing how quick her shoots are because lighting and concept has already all been figured out before the subject gets there.
