Her unpretentious demeanor was on display during a talk at the Chicago Humanities Festival in 2021. It was surprising to hear Leibovitz say she still gets nervous considering she has photographed the world’s richest and most powerful people. She shot the final image of the Nixon presidency in 1974 as he boarded a helicopter leaving the White House in disgrace and President Obama nearly 50 years later. “Vogue has a tradition to photograph first ladies right after the election," Leibovitz explained at her Chicago talk. Her portrait of first lady Michelle Obama is one of her favorites. She also photographed Hillary Clinton and Jill Biden. Being selected to photograph one of the most depicted women in the world, Queen Elizabeth II, surprised her. It led to some interesting stories about how power is conferred or taken in portrait photography. Leibovitz discovered that the Queen had her own ideas about how she wished to be photographed. However, the tour was a learning experience of a kind. “The experience is extreme,” she writes. “There is the bigness of the performances and then the isolation and loneliness that follow. The band was like a group of lost boys, but their music saved them.” Mallon, Thomas (December 12, 2008). "Picture This". The New York Times. ISSN 0362-4331 . Retrieved May 23, 2020. In 2017, Leibovitz announced the release of an online photography class entitled "Annie Leibovitz Teaches Photography". [36]

Rolling Stone” started giving me assignments right away, which made me worry about having crossed over to the other side. I was selling pictures. The photographers I admired were not photographers who worked for magazines on assignment, but people who chose what they did from the inside – or so it seemed at the time. And I wondered if I was betraying something. And then I found out about what it meant to be published, especially what it was to have a photograph on the cover of a magazine, which is what happened a couple of months later. In 1986, she was worked with FIFA to design and shoot the poster campaign for the World Cup in Mexico, and in 1994, she documented the aftermath of the sieges of Sarajevo, Bosnia.

We see how she convinced a surprisingly apprehensive Meryl Streep to pose for a portrait by giving her a “role to play”, or so to speak.

The photograph was subsequently re-created in 2009 by John and Yoko's son Sean Lennon posing with his girlfriend Charlotte Kemp Muhl, with male/female roles reversed (Sean clothed, Kemp naked), [16] and by Henry Bond and Sam Taylor-Wood in their YBA pastiche on October 26, 1993.

In 2007, a major retrospective of Leibovitz's work was held at the Brooklyn Museum. [23] The retrospective was based on her book, Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer's Life, 1990–2005 and included many of her professional (celebrity) photographs and numerous personal photographs of her family, children, and partner Susan Sontag. This show, which was expanded to include three official portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, then went on the road for seven stops. It was on display at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., from October 2007 to January 2008 and at the Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco from March 2008 to May 2008. In February 2009, the exhibition was moved to Berlin, Germany. [24] [25] The show included 200 photographs. [26] This exhibition and her talk focused on her personal photographs and life.

Leibovitz took a drastic shift from the calendar traditional style by focusing on admirable women as opposed to sexuality. The calendar included Amy Schumer, Serena Williams, and Patti Smith. Leibovitz had previously worked on the 2000 calendar. [40] IKEA [ edit ]That same year, Leibovitz joined the newly re-launched Vanity Fair as a staff photographer. In 1998 she also began working regularly for Vogue.
