Annie Leibovitz at Work by Annie Leibovitz
4.0
Annie Leibovitz has a writing style similar to Maya Angelou; calm & wise. (Something I'm not sure I will ever accomplish myself.) But the most astonishing thing about this book is realizing how she has been a fly on the wall at some of the most groundbreaking moments in the last 30 years.
She photographed Andy Warhol and Truman Capote together. She photographed Arnold Schwarzenegger with Dolly Parton. She photographed Bush, Cheney, Rice & Powell in the Cabinet Room (because the Oval Office "always creates lighting issues" due to the wall of windows behind the president's desk.) She photographed John Lennon and Yoko Ono mere hours before he was shot and killed. She was one of the few allowed at the OJ trial.
No wonder she says she doesn't have a favorite picture; she is merely proud of her body of work. Um, yeah.
I found it interesting that she says the reason she doesn't ask people to smile is because she feels it is asking people to be fake. That explains a lot.
Be sure to read the ten most-asked questions section at the end, that includes an interesting explanation on how she feels about the move to digital photography.
