Annie Leibovitz
This is Annie Leibovitz, probably one of the most famous portrait photographers ever. Her work is so inspirational and unique. Her randomness and clever sense of art is so amazing to me. Annie was born October 2, 1949. She started out taking art classes in San Francisco at the art institute and then began taking night photography classes. She was doing photography for The Rolling Stone magazine in 1970 and then became chief photographer in 1973. When she left she had shot 142 covers over her 10 years. She got a job for Vanity Fair and Vogue in 1988. In 1991, Annie's collection of over 200 color and black-and-white
photos were shown at the National Portrait Gallery in
Washington, D.C. She was the first woman to do so. “I’ve learned to create a palette, a vocabulary of ways to take
pictures,” Leibovitz explains. “What has stayed true all the way through
my work is my composition, I hope, and my sense of color.”
