Annie Leibovitz is one of the most influential photographers of our time. Published by Phaidon (2021), this volume traces her five-decade career and features 350 photographs – many previously unpublished – of compelling subjects like RuPaul, Serena Williams, Karl Lagerfeld, and Nancy Pelosi. With a foreword by Anna Wintour, it reveals fashion as an enduring thread in Leibovitz's work, even as her primary commitment has always been the power of the photograph itself. As she notes in the preface: "Fashion plays a part in the scheme of everything, but photography always comes first for me. The photograph is the most important part."
