Annie Leibovitz

We watched a video on Annie Leibovitz called "Life Through a Lens". It was a really interesting movie about her life and how she became such a good photographer. As a young girl she took lots of pictures, that were good even then. But she took a interest in photography the summer after her sophomore year that her and her mother spent in Japan. When she returned to San Francisco that fall she took night time photography classes.

In 1970 Annie approached the editor of 'Rolling Stone' magazine and with her impressing portfolio, she got her first assignment: shoot John Lennon. Her photograph made the cover, and 2 years later she was named the 'Rolling Stone" chief photographer. She also worked for 'Vogue' and 'Vanity Fair'. She has 2 kids and lives in New York. I believe she has a house in england also. Annie has a very Daring style, i hope to capture some of this in my own Photography.
