If you want a gorgeous looking photo, there are few people better to go to than Annie Liebovitz, whose sharp eye rarely goes wrong. She also has a great way of making things look classic and romantic, so she’s the perfect person to shoot a series of portraits for the upcoming Les Miserables, which she photographed for Vogue and are now online.
They are beautiful pictures and hopefully Tom Hooper’s movie will look just as good.
Here’s the film’s synopsis: ‘Les Misérables is the motion-picture adaptation of the beloved global stage sensation seen by more than 60 million people in 42 countries and in 21 languages around the globe and still breaking box-office records everywhere in its 27th year.
