Annie Leibovitz

Annie Leibovitz.

Annie Leibovitz, is the sort of woman who will photograph anything and everything weather it is on assignment or family she is seeing life through a lens. Annie is a very enthusiastic mother with three children, her photography is based on family friends and famous people. She is very daring in her images and tries to please everybody weather it is for a magazine agents, agents of big stars such as George Clooney, Kristen Dunset, Brad Pitt, Chris Rock, Kiera Knightley. The majority of her works were very staged that were outstanding but then she did realistic pieces with the big story on John Lennon she photographed John Lennon naked with his wife, Yoko Ono. With finishing the shoot about six hours later John was shot and it was a shock to Annie then later John then passed away in the emergency room. Annie was devastated. Annie Leibovitz, did another realistic piece with the rolling stones working on covers on the magazine and with the band itself. Annie then got involved with the rock star life and got hooked on to drugs and was then put into rehab. She photographed some work based on this as well, Annie also did work for vogue, vanity fair and life magazine. Although she did do photography she went to San Francisco university and wanted to become an art teacher, Annie went to San Francisco because her father got involved in the Vietnam War and was based in the Philippines. This was a very difficult time for Annie but by photographing this her mind was taken of it. Leibovitz did a piece on dance and photographed a young lad doing ballet and because of the movements she decided that dance couldn't be photographed, but then said "wouldn't it be beautiful and wonderful if it was". Annie had a saying and it was that she thought that with having a big family then the "camera was another family member". With Annie's work she was told that she had simple and basic ideas and turned them into something amazing her reply was "no i have silly ideas", with this she is putting a stamp on her work.
