Fashion Photography by Annie Leibovitz : Imagine BBC part 3/6 (Video)

When asked what a photographer’s life is about, the subject of this film replies that it is ‘a life looking through a lens’. She should know: Annie Leibovitz has been looking at all kinds of life through her lens for the last 30 years. Viewers who haven’t heard her name will certainly have seen her pictures: from a naked and pregnant Demi Moore to Bette Midler on a bed of roses; from Bruce Springsteen’s famous pose in front of the American flag, to a naked John Lennon curled up and vulnerable next to a distant-looking Yoko Ono, Leibovitz’s images are instantly recognisable. In her 50s now, the photographer is working harder than ever. She’s universally in demand from pop stars to political leaders, rebel-rousers to royalty (including our very own Queen) and she’s no stranger to controversy. Her recent photographs of Disney Star Miley Cyrus caused a storm when the 15-year-old was photographed wearing only a sheet and smudged lipstick. Leibovitz’s career began as a photo journalist for Rolling Stone magazine in the early 1970s, where she quickly rose to the position of chief photographer. She successfully captured the spirit of the age, from the rock and roll revolution to Watergate. She famously went on tour with the Rolling Stones, earning her reputation as photographer to the stars but picking up a drug habit along the way. Clean for years now, Leibovitz’s work is most familiar these days through the covers and pages of Vanity Fair magazine.

OMG… is it a leica with FAKE MOTOR SOUND by BBC!?

Actually, that sound is correct. Annie is using a Leica M6 with an accessory motor drive.

What camera she is using is hardly the point..

I like that she is using a film camera

Leica M8 maybe 6 or 7, it’s slightly different but all similar

Its a M6 or M7 but not a M8 unless Annie has found a way of loading film in to a digital camera.

Rolling stone cut their hair and put on suits… They’ve never been the same since.
