At first she studied painting, but later developed her photography skills which led to changing her major. She was inspired by the work of Robert Frank and Henri Cartier-Bresson. For several years, she continued to develop her photography skills while holding various jobs, including a stint on a kibbutz in Amir, Israel for several months in 1969.]]> 2021-01-08 20:22:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ml22822/kdzg8uts1q7bj2ab/wish/1068679910 ml22822 https://padlet.com/ml22822/kdzg8uts1q7bj2ab/wish/1068705205 When Annie returned to the United States in 1970, she started her career as staff photographer for Rolling Stone magazine. In 1973, publisher Jann Wenner named Leibovitz chief photographer of Rolling Stone, a job she would hold for 10 years. Leibovitz worked for the magazine until 1983, and her intimate photographs of celebrities helped define the Rolling Stone look. Annie photographed The Rolling Stones in San Francisco in 1971 and 1972, and served as the concert-tour photographer for The Rolling Stones' Tour of the Americas '75. Her favorite photo from the tour was a photo of Mick Jagger in an elevator.]]> 2021-01-08 20:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ml22822/kdzg8uts1q7bj2ab/wish/1068705205 ml22822 https://padlet.com/ml22822/kdzg8uts1q7bj2ab/wish/1068722855 On December 8, 1980, Annie had a photo shoot with John Lennon  for Rolling Stone, and she promised him he would make the cover. She had initially tried to get a picture with just Lennon alone, as Rolling Stone wanted, but Lennon insisted that both he and Yoko Ono be on the cover. Annie then tried to re-create something like the kissing scene from the couple's Double Fantasy album cover, a picture Leibovitz loved. She had John remove his clothes and curl up next to Yoko on the floor. The photo was actually shot 5 hours before John Lennon was shot and killed. ]]> 2021-01-08 20:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ml22822/kdzg8uts1q7bj2ab/wish/1068722855 ml22822 https://padlet.com/ml22822/kdzg8uts1q7bj2ab/wish/1068739126 Annie then later developed new skills for her style of photography. Her new style of lighting and use of bold colors and poses got her a position with Vanity Fair magazine in 1983. Annie photographed celebrities for an international advertising campaign for American Express charge cards, which won a Clio award in 1987. In 1991, Leibovitz mounted an exhibition at the National Portrait Portrait Gallery. She was the second living portraitist and first woman to show there.

The magazine’s editor, Tina Brown, deemed Moore’s act a brave declaration, “a new young movie star willing to say, ‘I look beautiful pregnant,’ and not ashamed of it.”]]> 2021-01-08 21:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ml22822/kdzg8uts1q7bj2ab/wish/1068868209 ml22822 https://padlet.com/ml22822/kdzg8uts1q7bj2ab/wish/1068874182 In 1998, Annie began to work regularly for Vogue.
