Description
Annie Leibovitz's stunning, meticulously composed, and emotionally charged portraits have made her one of the most world-renowned and sought after photographers. After attending the San Francisco Art Institue in the late 60's, Leibovitz became the chief photographer for Rolling Stone Magazine in the 1970's and early 80's. Her self-proclaimed inability to separate work and personal life comes through even in those early portraits whose warmth and humor help define what is still the look of Rolling Stone. In 1983, Leibovitz became the first contributing photographer to Vanity Fair, where her striking, high-concept photo spreads continue to heighten the drama of her celebrity subjects without sacrificing warmth and connection. Among her work is true iconic imagery of the last century; John Lennon curled around Yoko Ono hours before his death, a nude and very pregnant Demi Moore and, most recently, the controversial photographs of fifteen-year-old pop singer, Miley Cyrus, in Vanity Fair.
