The DC Traveler

Iconic Photographer Annie Leibovitz

by Jon on November 30th, 2008

Many of Annie Leibovitz photographs are unforgettable.

The Rolling Stone cover image of a naked John Lennon hugging Yoko Ono taken the morning he was killed. The Vanity Fair cover of a nude pregnant Demi Moore.  The images of the Rolling Stones Annie Leibovitz with cameraduring one of their American tours.  Her classic images for the American Express card celebrity campaign. Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A. album cover. And most recently, the controversial Vanity Fair implied semi-nude photos of Miley Cyrus in April of this year. 

She was the chief photographer for both Rolling Stone and a featured photographer for Vanity Fair. 

She will discuss her new book, “Annie Leibovitz at Work”, which was just released November 18th, 2009.

Her latest book details how she created images of Richard Nixon’s resignation, many of her now classic images, as well as images from Barack Obama’s campaign.
