Given the gravity of Leibovitz’s career, At Work serves as an excellent guide to the aspiring photographer. We are even given a Frequently Asked Questions chapter at the end of the book, detailing both theoretical and practical advice. That being said, the book as a whole is an in-depth guide to the world behind the photographs, but not necessarily an insight into Leibovitz’s process. An element of mystery surrounds her work; we are shown the end result, and a taster of the method. For portraits, she has said she likes to use the 55mm (which is the first lens she owned) and 140mm on the Mamiya (the equivalent of 70mm in 35mm photography).

Painting was isolating. Photography took me outside and helped socialize me. I felt at homes in the rooms where the photography students worked. There was a lot of angry abstract expressionists in the painting studios. I wasn’t ready for abstraction. I wanted reality. Annie Leibovitz Working on assignment for Rolling Stone with the legendary journalist Hunter S. Thompson, Leibovitz captured the moment when, after resigning as president, Nixon left the White House for the last time. Three stooped guards in the foreground of the image roll up the carpet, fighting against the wind from the whirling blades as Nixon's helicopter hovers behind them.
