The American photographer Annie Leibovitz is one of the most influential portraitists of our time. Her breakthrough came when she joined Rolling Stone magazine as a photographer in 1973, eventually serving as its chief photographer until 1981. In the following years, Leibovitz, known for her media-shy demeanor, rose to international acclaim for her iconic portraits of numerous music legends. Alongside staged portraits such as Queen Elizabeth II, and notable nudes, including those of Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, and Marina Ambramovic, Leibovitz expanded her repertoire to include reportage and advertising photography.
