Louis Vuitton courts Annie and Angelina

2011-04-27T23:06:00.000-04:00

Some more good news for Annie Leibovitz. She's been signed to shoot a series of photos for Louis Vuitton featuring Angelina Jolie. Jolie is getting $10 million for the ads, no word on Leibovitz's cut.

Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow

2011-04-18T14:17:00.002-04:00

Okay. Annie Leibovitz is back with a pair of new photos from the Disney Dream Celebrity Portrait series. This time she's captured Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, which isn't that big of a stretch since he invented the character. Also included is Patti Smith.

The pics are over on The Disney Blog.

New 2011 Disney Dream Portait Photos

2011-03-03T12:07:00.002-05:00

A new set of photos by Annie Leibovitz featuring Olivia Wilde, Alec Baldwin, Penelope Cruz, Jeff Bridges, and Queen Latifah in scenes from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid has been uploaded to The Disney Blog.

More, and larger, photos when I can find them. In the meantime it's nice to see Disney and Leibovitz working together again.

Firm seeks fees for helping Annie Liebovitz avoid Bankruptcy

2010-04-25T09:43:00.000-04:00

I would say that this is the definition of irony, the firm you hire to keep you out of bankruptcy then sues you into default to pay for their original services. Shouldn't those fees have been rolled into the original amount, much like Mortgage closing costs? I'm sure that thought entered Annie Leibovitz's mind when she got the bill from Brunswick Capital Partners. They want around $800,000 in fees for helping Leibovitz raise about $40 million from investors.

Annie might lose rights to her work in loan dispute

2009-09-09T09:49:00.000-04:00

For those of you who wondered why Annie Leibovitz would lend her talents to the Disney Parks marketing campaign these last few years, we now know the answer -- she needed the money. Leibotivz had a $24 million loan that was due this week and her ability to repay it immediately was in question. It looks like whether she loses the rights to her work, she put that up as collateral for the loan, or is able to retain some or all through bankruptcy proceedings is now up to the courts.

Allen Salkin's July article has a few ideas on how this could have happened. In the meantime, stay tuned, we may shortly be seeing Leibovitz's famous works for sale as postcards, or worse.

London Backdrop from Leibovitz Peter Pan Portrait

2008-10-30T12:59:00.000-04:00

Raphael Lacoste, an illustrator from Canada, has put an image of the London rooftop matte painting used as a backdrop in Annie Leibovitz's Peter Pan themed Disney Dream portrait that featured Gisele Bundchen, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and Tina Fey. The version he has online features a cathedral. But if you look at the original photo, you'll see they put in Big Ben instead.

You can view it at his deviantArt account.
