Annie Lebovitz, born in 1949 in U.S.A. worked for magazines like Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair and is known especially for her photograph of a naked John Lennon and Yoko Ono in bed short before Lennon's assassination. Beside it, you probably know her photo of pregnant Demi Moore for the cover of Vanity Fair.
Some find Leibovitz too commercial and this caused many debates on her value as a photographer. 'Naked Gun 33 1/3' which used Demi Moore's photo in a parody was sued by Leibowitz as copyright infringement. The court dropped the charges seeing parody as a part of 'free use' of copyrighted material, which states an example for future lawsuits and changed the view in copyright law.
Benim en beğendiğim fotoğrafları, Kraliçe Elizabeth...
My favorite photos, of Queen Elizabeth...
Again with the debates if she is deserving or not, National Portait Gallery launched a retrospective on her. In 2009, it was discovered that Liebovitz's photographs were pawned by a bank, because she couldn't pay the 15.5 million loan that she took. In 2010, the issue was solved by another bank's program to pat the debt, but this again caused a lot of discussion as Leibovitz being one of the highest paid photographers.
Dipnot olarak 1989'dan Susan Sonntag'ın ölümüne kadar (2004) Susan Sonntag'la bir ilişki yaşadığını da söylemek gerekir. Susan Sonntag kim derseniz, bu yüzyılın en önemli fotoğraf eleştirmeni, ayrıca romancı, politik aktivist vs. gibi bir sürü sıfat sayabiliriz.
As a final note, I must say that Leibovitz had a reationship with Susan Sonntag from 1989 until Sonntag's dead in 2004. If you're asking who Sonntag is, I can cite many things as one of the major photography critics, novelist, political activist...
