Yes, she is a very competent promotional portrait artist. Beyond that, I just don't get it. She's simply someone who was in the right place at the right time and excelled a self-promotion. Or am I missing something? B.

She made these photographs of well-known persons for an American Express advertising campaign. The poster-sized prints are displayed in a very well designed display space. Annie's work is - to me - entertaining but as Tina and The New York Times point out, neither spontaneous nor revealing. Among the celebrities is our governor-elect, bare-chested and chomping a cigar, astride a white horse.
