Photographer of the Week

In the documentary Life Through a Lens about the infamous portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz. In the film, Leibovitz conducted her interviews in the car, because it was her parent's last station wagon, and she likes to be in cars because it lets her mind float. Leibovitz went to San Francisco for school at the Art Institute for painting, because she wanted to be an art teacher. However, Leibovitz decided to do photography instead, in fact, she began to take photos for the magazine "Rolling Stone" in the 60's. She photographed many celebrities and musicians such as the Rolling Stones and John Lennon, producing one of the most famous covers of all time, where John Lennon is curled up on Yoko Ono. Leibovitz's portraits are considered being environmental portraits, where the subject relates to the background telling a story. This developed style is evident in her later work of photographing for "Vanity Fair" and "Vogue".
