Annie Leibovitz's Stunningly Stylized Hollywood Portraits (from the web)
Sure it will cost you $2,500 but this gigantic book that's over two and a half feet tall and weighs an astounding 57 pounds isn't any ordinary book. Portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz draws from over 40 years of work to create this limited edition tome, joining only Helmut Newton and David LaChapelle in making a SUMO-sized book for publisher Taschen. The project took several years to develop and asked Leibovitz to look back upon her illustrious career.
While you'll see such iconic images as John Lennon and Yoko Ono's last embrace to Richard Nixon's final White House helicopter lift off, it's Leibovitz's more stylized Hollywood portraits she's created for fashion magazines like Vanity Fair and Vogue that will make you remember why Leibovitz is more like an artist than a photographer. The way she can bring out the personalities of her subjects - be it actors, musicians, comedians, artists or athletes - is unlike any other.
