Annie Leibovitz

b. 1949, Waterbury, Connecticut, US

A leading portrait photographer and keen documentarian of social landscapes, Leibovitz consistently fits style to technique through collaboration with her subjects, photographing them in their homes or locations of personal significance. Since her early years as a photojournalist for Rolling Stone magazine, she has captured historical and cultural touchstones throughout the US and abroad. Her career has dovetailed with, and advanced, photography’s evolution as a force for art making. In addition to participating in a major upcoming exhibition, ‘Le Noir et le Blanc dans la Collection Pinault’, in Rennes, France, she is currently working on a solo show at Hauser & Wirth London, and publishing a new book with Phaidon in November.
