Leibovitz and Natchwey are two famous photographers in our generation but since photography is not related to my major, I am not familiar with them. To be able to write about them, I have to research more such as watching a documentary film about them, read their autobiographies and so on.
Both photographers are very famous and well known artist in different fields (of course they work in same field but I thought the reason why they take a photo is different so I just wrote like that ). Leibovitz had worked for rolling stone magazine for commercial and she has taken many famous people's photos(even the queen of the England and obama and many famous stars with family) until now.
I think she has the ability to capture the person’s character. That’s why she didn’t fail to bring out the mood or the character of her models to all the pictures that she took. And also, some advertising company chose her because she has her style in commercial photo shoot. She represents creativity in all of her works. All of her works seem like having a story that make me courious.
However Natchwey is called " A legend of news photo ". He says "If your pictures aren't good enough, you are not close enough". That's why he goes to a battlefield and takes pictures of the vivid truth. He wants to get an attention from the people to let them that a war can't be justified by any other reasons. Although It’s dangerous to stay there, he might think it’s worth. Leibovitz and Natchwey have different reasons why they take pictures...So it's difficult to compare each other. But the common thing I can see is the values of them through the photos they took. It’s the way to say what they want to say. Every photo they took can impress on people's mind, sometimes easier than a word to understand. It has a really strong power. So I thought This is the reson why visual anthropology is exist. We try to be closed to know who are they, what they do, what they think and learn about them and take photos everything even a small things. Just like what they did. And then we might know and get closed to them a little.

Nice overview. What have you learned from their methods that you can apply in your own photography and visual anthropology?
