A look at the talent of
Annie Leibovitz-


The Editors would like to make it a point to feature more classic good stuff, like the talent of Photographer Annie Liebovitz.


Born Anna-Lou Leibovitz in Waterbury, Connecticut, Annie 
continues to Rock us with her uniquely powerful Portraiture. She enrolled at the San Francisco Art Institute, with plans to become a Painter. Boy, are we glad she picked up that Cannon! of course I am quite sure she would have been a phenomenal Painter as well, but her decision to become a Photographer has made its mark. Google her today and up comes 21,400 results in less than a second!.

At times, the viewer may be struck by a blow of pure honesty,  depicted in a style of stark, finely executed Portraiture,  as in the Portrait, Left of Iggy Pop. Other images  may include a highly styled set reflecting intimate details of the  unique personalities she has worked with. 

On December 8, 1980, Leibovitz did a shoot  for Rolling Stone with John Lennon.  Lennon insisted that both he and wife Yoko Ono be on the cover, instead of a shot of John alone, as the Magazine had planned.



        Said Annie:   I think it was amazing to
look at the Polaroid and they were
both very excited. John said,
     'You've captured our relationship
exactly. Promise me it'll be
on the cover.'I looked him in
the eye,and we shook on it."[7]
Leibovitz was the last person to
professionally photograph Lennon
-he was killed five hours later.[8]






Leibovitz photographed the Rolling Stones
in 71-72 in San Francisco, Later she
was their 75 Concert tour Photographer.
