Annie Leibovitz

I believe from my heart of hearts she is one of the most fantastic portrait photographers in the history of mankind. There is something about her signature, slightly over photoshop-ed style that I just can't get away from. The use of color, her concepts, her models reaction to her work...its all rather extraordinary. Below is a video which I just found that shows how well she interacts with her subjects and the resulting work the occurs.

She is truly astounding.
