Annie Leibovitz is a famous photographer who has worked for many magazines, from the Rolling Stone to Vogue, and has met many people along the way. She got her start taking photographs as a child stationed with her family in the Philippines during the Vietnam War. She began her career with the Rolling Stone magazine as it was just starting, and eventually became the face of the magazine. She went through the drug and hippie crazes and spent some time in rehab where she regained her sobriety.
When the fads of the time were through, she began again, this time her photography was very much for a working purpose, as she needed to change up her beliefs in order to constantly graze the cover of magazines. She had turned away from her origin of photographers and spent much time in celebrity portrait photography, doing anything and everything to create the best shots. Many celebrities complain about her tactics yet they swear by her, knowing that she is one of the best photographers in the business. Over the past few years Leibovitz has come into some financial troubles, but is determined to continue in her quest to become the most well known photographer of the time.
