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.

The image looks fine to me. If people had properly calibrated monitors it would be OK. But most people have no clue what “brightness” an “contrast” do.
1) The Revolution always eats its own ...
2) Jumanji Brown Jackass is UGLY.
3) There’s nothing at all wrong with the way those photographs are illuminated.
I love this kind of leftist cannibalism!!! LOLOL!!! The race card is played once again LMAO!!!😂😂😂
Likewise "sexism", "antisemitism", "homophobia", "islamophobia", "misogyny", and probably a few others that don't come to mind at the moment.
We used to call that -dressing in all white dress clothes.
“Looking like the Man from Glad’
In late ‘60’s, Glad sold plastic sandwich bags with a man in a suit white suit as the spokeman.
Whzt’s even more ironic is Lincoln had a great quote about reality, that this woman denies when she says she can’t say what a woman is.
Lincoln: “How many legs does a dog have if you call his tail a leg? Four. Saying that a tail is a leg doesn’t make it a leg.” - Abraham Lincoln
She turns her back on Lincoln, who says you can’t just deny reality. By her saying she can’t define what is a woman, she denies obvious reality. Something Lincoln exactly illustrates in his quote.

It is actually easier to photograph a black hole.
Now that you mention it, I do recall seeing an ad for a phone designed to take pictures of “people of color”.
Found one. Google Pixel 6.

Yep. That bright red watermelon color does the trick!

Yes, extreme side and/or hairlighting is the only way.
As a photographer using a light meter you need to look at the skin. Taking a reading will give you exposure that would render the color neutral gray. Then you have to make adjustments to make it lighter or darker depending on their True Tone.
The picture is fine. It’s exposed properly. People making judgements are doing so on uncalibrated monitors hat should be “brighter.”
Politically, I don’t care for Annie. But as a photographer, she is probably the best portrait shooter in history. She doesn’t make exposure mistakes.
She should refuse to shoot blacks. (That didn’t come out right.) Maybe that’ll make them happy. Shoot = PHOTOshoot, BTW.
They are only saying it because she’s white, period.
Babylon Bee?
Lol. Thx for the laugh. Hit my funny bone.
