Customer Reviews

Annie Liebowitz - Life through a Lens
Excellent documentary style DVD of this photographer's life and work. Went really well with visiting the exhibition that was at the National Portrait Gallery and put some of the aspects of that into a context. Great value and one to keep for the archives!!!

Fascinating!
This is a must-see for fans of Annie Leibovitz. It offers an insight into the thought processes behind some of the most famous photographs of the last 20 years.

You might also consider reading her book; Annie Leibovitz at Work. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Amaizing
Great this documentary was done... dificult to believe such an amount of work from just one person.
