Annie Leibovitz
Annie Leibovitz is an American photographer who is known for taking many photographs of celebrities, politicians and her family. Leibovitz wanted to show personal photos and photoshoots of celebrities in her exhibition. The collection of photos gives us an image of both her private and public life. The gallery includes photographs of some very personal subjects, including the birth of her children. During her career, Leibovitz worked for Rolling Stones and Vanity Fair and attended art school in the late 60s in San Francisco. She has been creating witty and powerful photographs and documenting American popular culture since the 70s. She has been well known thoughout her career for her portraits. In her exhibition she wanted to portray what happens to her family over a 15 year period. Some of her photographs show her father growing frail. Many of her works exhibited in the gallery displays dull or muted colours or black and white, however in the 1980s Leibovitz experimented successfully with bold colours. Many of her pieces have a simple, sophisticated feel to them.
