  1. i like the way she says , if your thinking about what camera you've got then you're not taking pictures , & uses a hasselblad lol , it's what she's comfortable with , & when you're taking pictures if stars , you need a good camera , as they expect perfection , i can see where she's coming from , i bought an expensive nikon , but was'nt confortable with it , & it was very heavy with all the gear , so i exchanged it for a canon , which is very light & so are the lenses , & i can even carry it in my handbag , it maybe just a 200D , but i love it .

  2. This is by far the worst MasterClass in the history of the masterclasses. She sucks teaching but that is OK. The shame is on who produced this crap. The editing is terrible. The interview is poorly executed. You wasted the time of many people and wasted the time of one brilliant photographer with a load full of bullshit.

  3. This is probably the first inspiring Youtube ad ever LOL can't believe I ended up watching the originally one here after catching this several times, but never skip it (as I always do with other ads)

  4. If I were you, I would not pay to get lessons from someone like Leibovitz. Whatever her legacy in the 20th century, her 21st century legacy is taking pop culture into the sewer with what she did to one Ms. Miley Cyrus. Are we so naïve as to imagine that this disturbing incident did not play a major role in what Ms. Cyrus became? And, by extension, what pop culture has become as a result?

  5. The only thing Annie Leibovitz knows, that any community college photography teacher doesn't, is Jann Wenner! This woman's work is so overrated and is only well known because every one of her subjects is famous and…on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Duh! 🙄 Past that, there's really nothing special about her work. Whoopi Goldberg in a bathtub full of milk. Oh boy…😴

  6. The argument “She tells us to not care about gear but uses a Hasselblad and a huge crew” is absolutely ridiculous, and that argument is one of the reasons you will never be a photographer like Annie. So many photographers, from Penn to Platon used assistants and expensive gear, but they started from nothing. And Annie proved that her work is incredible no matter what gear she used, not only in the Masterclass but with the latest Shot on Pixel campaign where she used an Android phone to create images that look better than most photographer’s shots with the Canon 5D VI

    This is a class for leaders, for artists, for people that don’t want to repeat photography clitches in the likes of Peter McKinnon, for people that think different, and their camera is nothing more of a tool. Watched the whole masterclass over five times, and every time I rewatch I learn something new. It’s really a breakthrough class, and it changed my view on photography completely. After you watch this class and read the material front to back, you will know what is a good photograph, and how to become a better photographer.

    Thank you Annie. Thank you Masterclass.

  7. Why is theme important in a film?

    Theme is the most important element of any screenplay. It aligns and focuses the plot, subplots, characters and dialogue. … Theme is the most important element of a good screenplay. It's the driving intention behind the film

  8. I subscribed to MasterClass, hers being one in which I was interested. So far, her class has been all antidotal…. nothing that really inspires the viewers own creativity. Even the assignments are uninspired.

  9. MasterClass is full of deluded lucky celebrities who think that their talent and hard work is what led to their success. There are many people better at their field than them but who were not fortunate enough to win the lottery in the competitive arts.

  10. What I can NOT stand is…..attending asian cultured events (bon dance) and because I now shoot for a newspaper, those attendees dont understand and I often get pushed around and "STARED AT" in a meanful way just because they "think" I am showing off or wanna act like media (ahh..I am media??) and of course….they think i attend just to hook myself up to some female!!!!

  11. love this trailer…..especially that photo of Agnes and what Annie says about her……..She is capturing time standing still in a moment…..magical….its about feel…..great magical photos….
