The World’s Most Famous Photographers

2. Annie Leibovitz

When it comes to the world’s most famous photographers, then this gal simply must be on the list. She started her career as a staff photographer for the Rolling Stone magazine in 1970, became chief photographer three years later, and helped define the editorial and visual concepts of the rock and roll print for an entire decade. Famous for her celebrity portraits and imaginative fashion photo-shoots, Annie Leibovitz’s consistently morphing creativity has earned her The Royal Photographic Society’s Centenary Medal and Honorary Fellowship (HonFRPS) in 2009, as well as a spot on our list.
