Annie Leibovitz

Annie Leibovitz is a Jewish American photographer. In 1973 she was named chief photographer of Rolling Stone. Her photographs of celebrities helped define the Rolling Stone "look" that we still see today.

One of her most well known photographs is of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. She took the photograph just five hours before he was assassinated.

John Lennon said, "you've captured our relationship perfectly, promise me it'll be on the cover" (Wikipedia). It's amazing that her picture was able to capture the essence of their relationship. Photography is certainly a powerful art form- something Annie Leibovitz portrayed through all her photographs.
