Description

In this new collection from Annie Leibovitz, one of the most influential photographer's of our time, iconic, remarkable portraits sit side-by-side never-before-published photographs. Afterword by Annie Leibovitz.

Annie Leibovitz: Portraits 2005-2016 is the photographer's follow-up to her two landmark books, Annie Leibovitz 1970-1990 and A Photographer's Life 1990-2005. In this newest collection, Leibovitz has captured the world's most compelling subjects in the style that has distinguished her as one of the most loved and compelling talents of our time. The photographs document contemporary culture with an artist's eye, wit, and uncanny ability to personalize even the most recognizable and distinguished figures.

Reviews

"Whether she's photographing the famous and powerful - or simply the woman next door - Annie always captures something unexpected and deeply personal."Oprah Winfrey

"Getting your photograph taken by Annie is one of the great totems of success in America."Graydon Carter, Editor-in-chief, Vanity Fair

"She's a poet."Robert Wilson

"Annie Leibovitz is one of the most aesthetically gifted photographers alive."Guardian

"Her pictures are consistently great. They unerringly capture the zeitgeist."Paul Roth, director of the Ryerson Image Centre

"Leibovitz is not simply among our foremost image-makers. She has essentially created a new form of portraiture for our time."Sherri Geldin, director of the Wexner Center for the Arts

"[Leibovitz] has a way of turning the zeitgeist into works of high art."UrbanDaddy

"With more than 150 pop culture favorite subjects, this volume of striking portraits documents contemporary culture with an artist's eye and wit." Society Diaries

"...The latest book to commemorate her astonishing career." Publishers Weekly

"Iconic is an overused word, but it feels apt when describing the globally recognisable, influential, and compelling images of photographer Annie Leibovitz. Now, in a luxurious new compendium, her last decade of work is showcased in all its glory... The book is a who's who of the relevant and revered." Red

"A true trailblazer."Glamour

"Formidable in its breadth, and its weight... This is Leibovitz in excelsis: movie and music stars, politicians and power brokers; the inevitable nudes - Lady Gaga splayed over a bed, and a rather simian Jeff Koons admiring himself in a mirror; as well as a panoply of less familiar characters and still-lifes from her Pilgrimage series of objects and places with historical resonance. It is a record not only of Leibovitz's life as a photographer over 11 years, but of American life.... In her new book, the Hollywood glitz gives way to more contemplative pictures of artists, painters and musicians."Daily Telegraph Magazine
