Le livre

The celebrated photographer Annie Leibovitz, author of theNew York Timesbestselling bookA Photographers Life, provides the stories, and technical description, of how some of her most famous images came to be.Starting in 1974, with her coverage of Nixons resignation, and culminating with her controversial portraits of Queen Elizabeth II early in 2007, Leibovitz explains what professional photographers do and how they do it. The Rolling Stones tour in 1975, the famous nude session with John Lennon and Yoko Ono hours before Lennon was killed, the American Express and Gap campaigns, Whoopi Goldberg in a bathtub of milk, Demi Moore pregnant and naked on the cover ofVanity Fair, and coverage of the couture collections in Paris with Puff Daddy and Kate Moss are among the subjects of this original and informative work. The photos and stories are arranged chronologically, moving from film to digital. Leibovitzs fans and lovers of great photography will find her stories of how one learns to see - and then how to photograph - inspiring.
