Annie Leibovitz

Discover the inspiring story of Annie Leibovitz, the most iconic photographer who defined pop culture for a generation.

Born in Connecticut, little Annie loved art from an early age and was encouraged by her mother to pursue art. She went to art college to become a painter, but after trying out photography, she couldn't put her camera down.

In her twenties, she joined the staff of Rolling Stone magazine and quickly became the magazine's chief photographer. That kickstarted a decades-long career, during which she has captured some of the most iconic images ever.

Annie has photographed all kinds of people, from Queen Elizabeth to John Lennon to Whoopie Goldberg. She was the first woman to have a feature exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., and the Library of Congress has declared her to be a Living Legend. Her dramatic, playful, and quirky photography has redefined what it means to be an artist.

This inspiring and exhilarating book features stunning illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with photos and a detailed profile of Annie's life.
