Derek Blanks is another one of my favorite photographers, both when it comes to celebrities like Annie Leibovitz, and his overall work in general. I particularly like his Alter-Ego photo shoots where he captures two or more sides to his subject, most of which are representations of either how they see themselves, how the media and society sees them, or a combination of both. These are two favorite images of mine, especially the lower one of singer Michelle Williams. Growing up church, I connected to this image because being in this environment you're expected to behave and present yourself a certain and are pretty much judged if just a tad bit different.
