Photographer
Annie Leibovitz is an American portrait photographer whose work has defined celebrity imagery for over five decades. Born in 1949, she rose to prominence in the 1970s as chief photographer for Rolling Stone, where she developed an intimate, narrative-driven approach to portraiture. Her work bridges intimacy and spectacle, often placing subjects inside carefully constructed worlds that feel both personal and epic.
