Born in Connecticut in 1949, Annie Leibovitz realized her love of
photography as a painting student at the San Francisco Art Institute. In
1970, Leibovitz scored a job at the newly founded magazine, Rolling Stone, as a staff photographer, quickly rising to chief photographer. She shot 142 covers for Rolling Stone,
including a nude John Lennon with his wife Yoko Ono, taken shortly
before he was shot to death. Leibovitz’s most memorable work for Rolling Stone included photographing the resignation of Richard Nixon and the 1975 Rolling Stones tour.
In the early 1980s, Leibovitz began working for Vanity Fair. Here, she was able to expand her photography subjects beyond rock stars, working with presidents, actors, directors, writers, musicians, athletes, business figures, and even the occasional fashion shoot. Her controversial photographs of a pregnant and nude Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg in a bathtub full of milk, continue to spark discussions to this day.
