Photographer Annie Leibovitz has produced some of the most memorable and iconic images of the last 30 years, from her work with Rolling Stone magazine through to her Hollywood cover portraits at Vanity Fair. She has also recorded the horrors of war in Rwanda and Sarajevo and taken intimate shots her own friends and family, including Susan Sontag. This documentary, directed by her sister, is a fascinating portrait of a great talent, featuring vintage footage of Leibovitz in action during the 1960s and contributions from Arnold Schwarzenegger, Hillary Clinton, Mick Jagger and George Clooney.

Capturing all aspects of life through a lense...amazing. I didn't know she did the Bruce Springstein pic. Would love to see all of her work. I adore black and white pics the most. Thanks Josh. x
What makes Anne Leibovitz stand out from the crowd of pro photographers is the fact ,that she is not only excellent photographer, but also she is an ARTIST.
Being an artist allows her to see much wider range of possibilities in photography . I don't think ,that every picture she is making is great, but overall her portfolio is really,innovative,professional and most important -outstanding.
The last 2 comments are way off and a couple of idiots.. Those opinions are so so from a couple of people that can not see past the "notoriety" of her fame and really see the "Depth" of her images and the story the truly tell.. With one still image she really tells a persons story and personality like no other can. As well as the icing on the cake she makes that image a Grand Master Painting of a portrait. Those two I can tell have never seen her traveling "Gallery" of large original prints.
I agree with Jay. Plus she is a true self important butt. When the photographer becomes the celebrity something is whack. Well she is stupid with her money like many celebs so she has passed the test I guess.
She's over-rated! If you take the celebrities out of the shot you have nothing. Arnold Newman and George Hurrell are examples of true portrait artists.They understood lighting.
