Annie Leibovitz, our most celebrated living photographer, explains how her photographs are made, in this updated edition of her classic text.

In this newly revised edition of her seminal work, Leibovitz addresses young photographers and readers interested in what photographers do, but any reader interested in contemporary history will be fascinated by her account of one of the richest bodies of work in the photographic canon.

Topics include photojournalism, studio work, photographing dancers and athletes, working with writers, and the transition from shooting with film to working with digital cameras.

Originally published in 2008 and then updated and reissued in 2018, this revised and updated edition brings Leibovitz's best-selling book up to date, showcasing some of her most recent work.

Annotated photographs include: portraits of the Rolling Stones, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Meryl Streep, Keith Haring, Joan Didion, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Patti Smith, William S. Burroughs, Rihanna, Agnes Martin, Queen Elizabeth II, and Barack Obama.
