The American photographer Annie Leibovitz is one of today's most influential portraitists. Her breakthrough came as she joined Rolling Stone magazine as a photographer in 1973, eventually serving as its chief photographer until 1981. In the following years, Leibovitz, known for her media-shy demeanor, rose to international acclaim for her iconic portraits of numerous music legends. Alongside staged portraits and notable nudes, including those of Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, and Queen Elizabeth II, Leibovitz expanded her repertoire to include reportage and advertising photography. – A few light surface irregularities, only visible at an angle, otherwise in very good condition.
