Miranda Hart shares her life in books
Iconic is an overused word, but it feels apt when describing the globally recognisable, influential, and compelling images of photographer Annie Leibovitz. Now, in a luxurious new compendium, her last decade of work is showcased in all its glory. Featuring shots of stars of showbiz (Rihanna, clad in scarlet and draped over a Havana bar), literature (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, above, a vision of elegance and empowerment) and activism (Gloria Steinem, resplendent at her desk among books, papers and a tasselled lampshade), the book is a who’s who of the relevant and revered. There’s even a self-portrait of Leibovitz, dressed in black, relaxing on set. »
