I found this film to be a first-rate, high-energy production that kept me on the edge of my chair the whole time. This film is a brief show into the world of Annie Leibovitz. It is an interesting glimpse into the life that Annie has lived and the career she has established. I believe Annie is the current greatest American photographer. And her style is absolutely inspiring to anyone who is even slightly intrigued by photography, she's truly inspirational. Towards the beginning of the film we see into Annie's childhood, her family constantly moved but the one constant she had was photography she said that life is like looking through a lens, that the car window she looked through every time they moved. In fact resembled a lens to her which is where her love for photography began. I don't think there is any other work out there that can even compare to Annie's, it's so unique. She truly captures the essence of a person, you can look at her work and almost instantly pick it out as hers. Because of this people have fallen head over heels with her work. Every celebrity dying to have her photograph them. She can really capture something amazing and jaw dropping about each subject. She captures their character, their insecurities essentially their auras. She can understand her subjects unlike anyone before. Her photographs can bring such a sense of joy or sorrow by only a simple glimpse. She has definitely changed the playing field of photography and set such a huge bar for people to try and compete with. The movie was riveting and inspiring. Life Through a Lens does an excellent job of showing how this extraordinarily talented woman came to the forefront of modern photography.
