Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz has found herself in a racism row with critics of her dimly lit Vogue portrait of Ketanji Brown Jackson claiming it demonstrates her repeated failure to light black stars 'properly'. Leibovitz proudly shared her two photos of the Supreme Court justice on Twitter this week after they were published on Vogue's website.

What does properly lighting black people even mean? I guess Leibovitz needed to bring a air search light to the session.

We need the picture of OJ with the “sombrero.”

And the baby pictures of Trayvon Martin.

So racist photographer didn’t make dark black light black? But if she had made her look like Barrett then they still would have shouted racist.

Isn’t Leibovitz 95 or so? Her eyesight may have dimmed.

It today’s world everything is racist. To paraphrase the Princess Bride I don’t think they know what the word means.

Oh please. They’d complain, as my dad used to say, if they were hung with a new rope. Best to ignore the whinings of imbeciles.

Does show a lack of competence. We had to learn in high school that you had to light certain folks differently after the schools were fully integrated. Although proper darkroom technique would compensate for poor lighting.

Was she using a cell phone and not bothering with editing software? Forgot her fill lighting?

Let the leftie Karen take the effin pics themselves.
Oh, sorry, let it take the pic itself.
It’s not yet, but their time is coming. When they tell me my dinner choice is bugs eaten over candle light, they had better be living in well protected underground bunkers with their air intakes very well hidden. Enough is enough.

A legitimate complaint. Not having a pre-stretched rope can cause "complications"

Maybe only black photographers should be allowed to photograph black people.

I kid, of course. But the sad thing is that most progressives would take my suggestion seriously.

I saw one of those portrait photos taken of the Judge.
There is nothing wrong with that photo.
This is how she looks.
If anything, it is mildly airbrushed or treated to even skin tone out and avoid harsh reflections.

Some may even say the photo looks a little better than the person, but then, most honorary portraits are given some license to be complimentary or uplifting. This is a professional pic, not a Mug Shot.
I think most of those complaining are black people who themselves are embarrassed or insecure about being black.
That’s their problem, and most likely, always will be one of their problems.
