It's the fifth year for the partnership between the luxury hotels and Leibovitz, and they've given her free rein to roam the <b><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Peninsula+Chicago/ian/193520">Peninsula Chicago</a></b> and <b><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Peninsula+Tokyo/ian/255753">Peninsula Tokyo</a></b> properties in order to capture what truly is the spirit of the brand in its employees. <p>The resulting images will delight both hotel dorks and lovers of black & white photography, as we'd not only love to have the picture above hanging over our couch, but we find it moving in terms of illustrating the Peninsula's tradition of ultra-attentive service.

But you're thinking there's no WAY you can take pictures like that, right? This can be remedied.

Divi Flamingo Beach Resort just announced its onsite camera shop, Capture Photo, is offering a class for all levels of swimmers and shutterbugs to perfect their sub-aquatic shots.
