Annie Leibovitz Captures Unexpected Portraits At The Peninsula
Another year, another awesome series of portraits of the staff of Peninsula Hotels by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. It's the fifth year for the partnership between the luxury hotels and Leibovitz, and they've given her free rein to roam the Peninsula Chicago and Peninsula Tokyo properties in order to capture what truly is the spirit of the brand in its employees.
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. Other pictures feature the doormen, like Chicago's lead doorman Timothy Hitchcock helping a young girl into a car, and even laundry staff and room attendants.
Of the 17 images, all of which can viewed either on display at The Peninsula Chicago and on their website, we love this one of the behind-the-scenes Peninsula support staff the best. It's so unexpected, and you just know they went home that night and proclaimed to everyone who would listen that Annie Leibovitz had taken their picture.
The below picture is equally fun, and it kind of screams to be subtitled with "speak softly, but carry a big fish." Kudos to the Peninsula and Annie for another beautiful round of frame-worthy photos.
