In mid October an exhibition opened at The National Portrait Gallery in London. It showcases a huge selection of Annie Lebovitz work from 1990 – 2005. If you find yourself in London by February 1, 2009, pay it a visit. I know I might just do the same…
Annie Lebovitz is one of the world’s revered portrait photographers. Her career thrived while she was working for the Rolling Stone Magazine, from which she later moved to Vanity fair where she still works today. She photographed some of the most important and well known public figures of the world; actors, musicians, presidents… Demi Moore, Yoko Ono and John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Al Pacino, Mikhail Baryshnikov, etc. A lot of her photos have a requisite staging or a clear message.
The exhibition comprises more than 150 photographs that show her work with celebrities, her personal life and some of her reporter work during the siege in Sarajevo and Hilary Clinton senate US elections. It is said that the exhibitions brings a narrative into her work as well as an insight into her personal life. Since every showcased photo was chosen by Annie Lebovitz herself, it ads a very personal note to the way it’s laid out and the overall impression.
Tickets cost between £9.00 – £11.00 and need to be booked in advance!
