The Oscar Race, Pt. 1. ”One upon a time, the Hollywood portrait demanded a certain level of glamour—usually achieved with dramatic lighting and lavish styling. No more: To open it’s annual ’Hollywood Portfolio’, Vanity Fair went with a dressed-down Annie Leibovitz shot of the creative trio behind The Social Network—director David Fincher, screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, and actor Jesse Eisenberg. Will the film win the Best Picture awards when they hand out this year’s Oscars on February 27? Will these guys be wearing tuxedos?” Photo by Annie Leibovitz, Vanity Fair, March 2011.
The Oscar Race, Pt. 2. u201dA couple of years ago, Helen Mirren won a Best Actress Oscar for playing Queen Elizabeth II, and now everyone is laying odds that Colin Firth will get a Best Actor award for playing her father, George VI, in The King's Speech. British photographer Rankin gave Firth the old-fashioned glamour treatment in this shot for Vanity Fair's portfolio, but it's a post-modern glamour that allows us all to be in on the joke.u201d Photo by Rankin, Vanity Fair, March 2011.rn
The Oscar Race, Pt. 4. u201dThis photo of Jesse Eisenberg takes non-glamour to a new level, but of course it's just the actor in character as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.u201d Photo by Peter Hapak, Time, February 21.rn
The Oscar Race, Pt. 3. u201dAfter playing such a badass in those Harry Potter movies, Helena Bonham Carter got to be a sweetheart again when she played George VI's wife, Elizabeth, in The King's Speech. Walker's photo seems to a a visual recognition of her versatility.u201d Photo by Tim Walker, Vanity Fair, March 2011.
The Oscar Race, Pt. 5. u201dActress Hailee Steinfeld is definitely not in character in this picture. The breakout star of the year, she played a gritty young girl in the Coen brothers' remake of True Grit, but Hapak shot her looking like an angel.u201d Photo by Peter Hapak, Time, February 21, 2011.rn
The Swimsuit Issue. u201dLong, long ago, the editors of Sports Illustrated learned that gazillions of men became depressed during the period between the end of the NFL football season and the beginning of the NCAA college basketball tournament in March. So they invented the Swimsuit Issue, which is now a multi-media franchise. This year's covergirl is model Irina Shayk. How many magazine covers are events anymore? Not many, except this.u201d Photo by Raphael Mazzucco, Sports Illustrated, February TK
Award Controversy. u201dThis is the time of year when photography's major awards start to get handed out, too. One award has already caused controversy: New York Times photographer Damon Winter won third place for feature picture story from Picture of the Year International for a images he made while covering the U.S. military in Afghanistanu2014on his iPhone with the Hipstamatic app, which automatically adjusts color and contrast while burning in certain areas within the frame. In the newspaper's u201cLensu201d blog, Winter defended the images, saying the app applied the same kinds of aesthetics photojournalists do when they shoot with professional cameras.u201d Photos by Damon Winter, New York Times.

Undersea. Photo by David Doubilet, National Geographic, February 2011. u201dIMHO, after decades of strapping on air tanks, David Doubilet remains the master of underwater photography. He photographed the sunken remains of a U.S. Coast Guard in waters off Key Largo to show the rich collection of corral and sponges that grow when shipwrecks are turned into artificial reefs.u201d
La revue de presse de David Schonauer s’ouvre cette semaine sur le 7e Art avec un trio de charme : David Fincher, Aaron Sorkin et Jesse Eisenberg photographiés par Annie Leibovitz pour le prochain « Hollywood Portfolio » de Vanity Fair. Toujours pour Vanity Fair, Tim Walker s’est amusé à détourner la truculente Helena Bonham Carter de son rôle de reine qu’elle incarne dans The King’s Speech. Dans la même thématique, mais nettement moins glamour : l’actrice Hailee Steinfeld par Peter Hapak pour Time. A l’opposé des précédentes photographies, la couverture acidulée du numéro spécial “maillots de bains” Swimsuit Issue, Sports Illustrated, laissera peut-être certains rêveurs, avec Irina Shayk photographiée par Raphael Mazzucco.
Dans un autre registre, les photographies controversées de Damon Winter, (New York Times) prises en Afghanistan et, pour finir sur une note étonnante, les images de Muhammed Muheisen au Pakistan.
