Annie Leibovitz is one of the most influential photographers of our
time. She began working as a photojournalist for Rolling Stone in
1970 while she was still a student at the San Francisco Art
Institute. By 1983, when she left Rolling Stone for the revived
Vanity Fair, she was already closely identified with the
conceptual, theatrical style that is her hallmark. In subsequent
decades, at Vanity Fair and Vogue and in independent projects, she
has worked across many photographic genres and developed a large
body of work—portraits of actors, directors, writers, musicians,
athletes, and political and business figures, as well as fashion
photographs—that expanded her collective portrait of contemporary
life. She has published several books and has exhibited widely. She
is a Commandeur in the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and has
been designated a Living Legend by the U.S. Library of Congress.
A reminder of the service Leibovitz has done for us in documenting
so flawlessly the most important moments and people of the past
three generations.
