Leni Riefenstahl and Bruce Weber: Use of Classical Perfection in their Photography

"Laura Love"- Glamour, Woodstock, NY -Bruce Weber 
Olympia, Germany - Leni Rienfenstahl


Connections in style can be drawn between Leni Riefenstahl and Bruce Weber, in the ways in which they present the idea of “classical perfection” in their photographic compositions. Both photographers in the same way take advantage of their camera shutters’ abilities to capture a moment, emphasizing the rarity of this action of ‘freezing time’ in order to glorify an already glorious subject. Their photographs get away with being compositions of perfection because as photographers they design the moment and due to the technical capabilities’ of the camera perfection can be captured and preserved in merely in instance.-Brynn K
