Several collections of Leibovitz’s work have been published. Leibovitz has a special interest in dance, and in 1990 she documented the creation of the White Oak Dance Project with Mikhail Baryshnikov and Mark Morris. She has also collaborated with many arts organizations. In addition to her editorial work, she has created several influential advertising campaigns, including her award-winning portraits for American Express and the Gap.
At Vanity Fair, and later at Vogue, she developed a large body of work-portraits of actors, directors, writers, musicians, athletes, and political and business figures, as well as fashion photographs-that expanded her collective portrait of contemporary life. In 1983, when she joined the staff of the revived Vanity Fair, she was established as the foremost rock music photographer and an astute documentarian of the social landscape. She became Rolling Stone’s chief photographer in 1973, and by the time she left the magazine, ten years later, she had shot one hundred and forty-two covers and published photo essays on scores of stories, including her memorable accounts of the resignation of Richard Nixon and of the 1975 Rolling Stones tour.
Leibovitz’s first major assignment was for a cover story on John Lennon. Leibovitz’s large and distinguished body of work encompasses some of the most well known portraits of our time.
Her pictures have appeared regularly on magazine covers ever since. Annie Leibovitz began her career as a photojournalist for Rolling Stone in 1970, while she was still a student at the San Francisco Art Institute.
