Annie Leibovitz: Life through a Lens

    Annie Leibovitz is a famous American Photographer, who's career has reached many different levels since she started her photography career. Leibovitz's first major job was when, in 1970, she approached Jann Wenner, the founding editor of Rolling stones, and impressed him by her portfolio of works. The first assignment she got assigned was to shoot John Lennon. Annie is considered one of the best American portrait photographer. In 1983, after working for Rolling Stones, Annie went on to work for Vanity Fair. And in 1987, Annie won a Clio award for her portraits of celebrity holders of "American Express" cards.  
    Annie Leibovitz shows strong lighting in her photos. She works with lighting, and knows how to adjust and manipulate it to make her work look better. And she also has the style of using bold colors within her photographs. But most of her photographs show in black and white rather than color. Annie always has her subjects posing in dramatic poses which always appear striking and uniqe. Annie has worked with many very different areas to photography, going from celebrities to fashion. And yet, Annie has been able to pull each one off with many great and unique photos. Annie Leibovitz's work has been shown all throughout exhibitions in the U.S and some over seas.
