Annie Leibovitz: Life Through A Lens



Hop in the back seat and be taken on a journey through Annie Leibovitz rock 'n' roll lifestyle, the photographers way. Annie Leibovitz is the world's most distinctive celebrity photographer and in her Life Through A Lens documentary you will follow devine archival footage from her childhood and star striking days at Rolling Stone magazine. You will also join Annie Leibovitz on photo shoot locations for Vanity Fair and Vougue all around the globe and in her studio making decisions on the photograph placement for a book.

Annie Leibovitz has photographed all the big names, been on tour with some of the most influentual bands and changed the face of photography. Her more well-known work includes the last photograph of John Lennon wrapped naked around Yoko Ono (moments before he died), Demi Moore seven months pregnant and nude, Whoopi Goldberg lying in a bathtub of milk and Patti Smith standing infront of a sea of flames.

Annie Leibovitz's photography is so destinctive that there is no one that could completely re-created her frames and flatter the stars, the way she has done and is still doing today. Through out the film her images would send me goosebumps and her talent influences me to experiment more with my own work.

The mother of three is now fifty eight and still continues holding her high place behind the lens. Having the Annie Leibovitz lifestyle would make any inspiring celebrity photography envious, but once you've seen the film you will notice how much she deserved it and her recognition.
