First Analysis

Annie (full name Anne-Lou) Leibovitz is an American portrait photographer. This is a photo from the "Alice in Wonderland" inspired photoshops she did for Vogue in 2009.
Born in Waterbury in Connecticut on the 2nd of October 1949, she is the third of six children. In 1970, she began to work for the just started magazine, 'The Rolling Stone' after studying art and music for several years.
One of the series of images from the "Alice in Wonderland" shoot, this particular image showing the point at which in the story where Alice grows and shrinks repeatedly after drinking a little bottle of some mysterious substance.
I think that this photo has been taken in a studio using a digital camera as it is a fairly modern photo. The props have been scaled in the picture so as to make 'Alice' appear bigger whilst being a regular sized girl in reality. It is a fairly dark photo though with some highlighted areas; Alice's face and legs are fairly light whilst her chest is shaded and dark in comparison. There is no particular focus to this photo as it is all in focus, although as a viewer your eyes are automatically drawn to the fact Alice is so much larger than the house around her.
I love the scaling of this photo; it really gives the viewer the impression that 'Alice' has grown to be cramped in the house. I also like the different shades of blue used throughout the picture as it gives a subtle sense of repetition throughout the photo. What I don't like about the photo is that it looks a little too posed, some posing is good but the way in which everything is positioned gives off the impression of organisation and arrangement and I don't like the fact that it is so arranged, in my opinion it would be better if it looked as if it was in a little more disarray after Alice has just grown to the size of the house as you would expect she would have knocked things over whilst growing; this would have linked it more to the book that the shoot is based around.
