Is there a difference between the photographic portraits of stars that have appeared over the decades in Vanity Fair, and those that appear in other magazines interested in the lives of celebrities?
Dr Glyn Davis, Lecturer at Glasgow School of Art, will explore the relations between the star and the celebrity, and the ways in which photographs by Annie Leibovitz (and others) construct and contribute to our understandings of glamour and charisma.
