Photographer Annie Leibovitz Works Her Magic
Recently celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz, famous for portraits gracing various magazine covers including a heavily pregnant Demi Moore and John Lennon wrapped around a naked Yoko Ono, had the chance to create her special form of magic with Nicole Kidman.
Once again Kidman was taken away to a bush location. However this time it was only a small trip to the west of Sydney where a secret photo shoot took place. The session was shot on a paddock near the suburb of Richmond and appears to recreate the Faraway Downs homestead from ‘Australia’.
In footage captured by a National Nine News helicopter, Nicole can be seen standing on a wooden pavilion looking over her shoulder at the camera with her back balanced against a rail. She wears an elegant long blue dress - typical of her character’s pre-WWII English aristocrat - with a long split in the middle that runs down her leg.
Around 50 workers including make-up artists, set builders and a behind-the-scenes film crew can be seen working on the set.
Four screencaps from the helicopter footage can be viewed in the australiamovie.net gallery.
