Annie Leibovitz

Annie Leibovitz describes her photography career as seeing "life through a lens". At a young age she cultivated this feeling during the numerous family road trips. Leibovitz recollects daydreaming in the backseat, as the ready-made frame of the window naturally captured subjects outside. She had six brothers and sisters, making her childhood playful and open for creativity. Leibovitz ventured off to San Fransisco to study painting in college.

She became more involved with photography, capturing protest that took place during the 1960s. After finishing school, she allowed herself to flow into photography, where she became the greatest rock-n-roll photographer. She always had a camera in hand, once she warmed up to people they forgot she was there. She enjoyed being active and always moving around, at one point it was her goal because it kept her happy. She joined The Rolling Stones magazine, continuing to push her limits, she kept people guessing and wanting more. Years later, she started working for the magazine Vanity Fair, where she did celebrity portraits.

Annie Leibovitz has had several relations with people, but her work is the greatest and most passionate relationship of her life. Her style is unique, working with Annie can be difficult because she knows exactly what she wants and cares deeply about the end result. She is a successful career woman and mother that is in it, until it's over.
