Objects Annie Leibovitz: Wonderland
‘Leibovitz is nothing less than America’s greatest living photographic portraitist,’ writes Anna Wintour in the foreword of Wonderland, a gorgeous new anthology of Leibovitz images commissioned by Vogue and Vanity Fair. ‘She has changed fashion photography forever.’
Coming to prominence in the 1970s, Leibovitz has captured some of the most famous names of the past five decades, including Michele Obama, Hilary Clinton and Oprah Winfrey. Her fashion images, however, are just as beguiling. She’s reimagined Keira Knightley as Dorothy and Natalia Vodianova as Alice in Wonderland. Kate Moss, Kate Winslet and Karl Lagerfeld are among other global A-listers to strike a pose before her lens.
Although Leibovitz never saw herself as a fashion photographer, she acknowledges that her work for Vogue ‘fuelled the fire for a kind of photography that I might not otherwise have explored.’ Wonderland, her first-ever fashion book, includes over 350 extraordinary images, many of which have never been published before.
