"What camera are you using ha ha haha ha haha"

How do I block this commercial on YT? I watched this at least a dozen times.
Canon or Nikon?
i-i * skips*
funny how ppl pay for someone to just take a shitty picture, rofl..
"Camera doesn't matter" doesn't mean "If you use high end technology, fuck you" it means "Don't be bothered by what camera you are using."
She may have an entire team dedicating to photography, but you should know that most of her photos don't actually require those teams nor were they there when she took them. What I like about this masterclass is that you can just watch it and then go out and start doing what she's doing immediately. You don't have to wait a million years to get the equipment you THINK you need.
Is that a guy? Looks and sounds like a guy.
She is part of a small, exclusive clique. They promote each other and exaggerate their talents. If Whites were to to do the same it would be called "racism." Just about anyone can do what this woman does. What they lack is a clique of promoters who support them based on race. In short, she is grossly overrated.
She is SO full of crap!!!
This ad was so good that I liked the video that the ad appeared on by mistake… I forgot this was even an ad! Woah.
A lot of negative comments from Photographers who have not reached her level of photography. In any art form there is the technical side and the emotional side. For all these people chiming in with their negativity, show your website and let us see if you even compare to the work she has done. She has been doing photography for decades and yet you have the audacity to criticize her and her work? She has taken photos of the most iconic people in Hollywood, the music industry, and government. If you have not done what she has done, please keep your negativity to yourself. If you haven't reached her level of photography, you are just being a jackass with your jealousy. She doesn't need to "scam" us. She already has a lot of money. So those curious about her work and this master series, buy it. Even if you get only 2 or 3 tidbits of wisdom, maybe it will propel you in your photography. Keep on being awesome Annie Leibovitz!
I torrented this and even though i didnt spend any money it was still a waste of time. Respect for Annie and what shes done but this project is nothing more than her just telling stories. If youre looking for technical wisdom or something thats going to up your game, this isnt for you.
yo these ads i cant not watch or skip lol especially this one
I actually love to watch this Ad….It's very inspiring…That quote about sitting and waiting to be inspired — me 100%
Beautiful..
This was a horrible "class"
Everything found in these videos can be found on Youtube about her.
She doesn't teach.. she just talks about her way of seeing things. Blah…
Song name?
0:52 is that Yoko ono?
One camera can't do the job — I use over 4 — each one is very different — lighting is the key — not the camera
Wow — Genius —
The class was excellent.
Take my money already!
I love this ad … lol said at least this person lol
0:53 SHE TOOK THAT PHOTO???

"I am so not a technical photographer.
What camera are you using?"
Everyone laughs.
"If that what you are thinking about, you are not taking pictures"…..
The next clip, she has a 45,000$ Hasselblad in her hand.
Duh
I like this breek surfaces contrast in life, royld crying poor happy
I LOVE her style of photography, so unique
– Camera does not matter.
– But… but you are using a hassy.
(People who comment this should watch an old series called "Pro Photographer Cheap Camera Challenge" by the legendary DRTV (though now the legend is not there anymore)
Hell yeah. Literally no one can even think about sensor size while releasing a shutter button. It is physically and mentally impossible!
She inspires me 😊
for those of you wondering on what the music is called, its called: Soaring Horizon by philip guyler on audionetwork
The add is following me around. "This is how AI-iiiiii shoot". Just die! How can you be so cruel with this ad? Assholes
I can never bring myself to skip a Masterclass ad…
There's really nothing to learn from these 'Masterclasses'. They just talk fluff for several hours. They don't get the concept that talking isn't teaching.
Arnold Schwarzenegger on that horse though
He thicc
:03 That photo of Nick Cage tho 😆
Lol, 1:47 is my favorite.
wOw BRIT TAKE A YEAR OFF AND DO THIS !!!!!!!
ADORE THIS WOMAN SHE IS BRILLIANTLY ARTISTIC
amazing video!!
Imagine if they got Kojima? Holy shit that would awesome
“I’m so not a technical photographer… What camera are you using?(mockingly)”
uses a $30,000-$50,000 medium format Hasselblad
I watch the trailer I thought not again not another photographer then I watched the trailer and kept watching then you said I'm not a technical photographer I was hooked thank you.
1:48 that pic or Arnie on the horse is almost as good as the one of Putin riding the bear.
professional useless people
I purchased the course. I was expecting more technical aspects of her work. Though I was disappointed in that regard, it was still worth the payment to understand her perspective in greater detail. She covers some of the things that we shouldn't be concerned about as photographers. That alone provides some wisdom to ensure that you are not wasting your time with things that don't matter. Too many times as photographers we want to know settings, lenses, focal lengths etc. What Annie covers is that beyond those and to understand what is truly important. It is the mindset of a famous photographer that is more important. How did she overcome her challenges and what made her look at photos in a different way.
Stunning!!! So amazing trailer I can’t believe I’m watching repeating this over and over
