Annie Leibovitz is one of the most influential photographers of our
time. She began working as a photojournalist for Rolling Stone in
1970 while she was still a student at the San Francisco Art
Institute. By 1983, when she left Rolling Stone for the revived
Vanity Fair, she was already closely identified with the
conceptual, theatrical style that is her hallmark. In subsequent
decades, at Vanity Fair and Vogue and in independent projects, she
has worked across many photographic genres and developed a large
body of work—portraits of actors, directors, writers, musicians,
athletes, and political and business figures, as well as fashion
photographs—that expanded her collective portrait of contemporary
life. She has published several books and has exhibited widely. She
is a Commandeur in the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and has
been designated a Living Legend by the U.S. Library of
Congress.

Linda McCartney (née Eastman) was born in New York in 1941. She
took a photo course with Hazel Archer and studied art history at
the University of Arizona before settling in New York City, where
she began her photo career shooting rock portraits. Outside of her
photography, which has been exhibited in over 50 galleries
worldwide including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the
National Portrait Gallery, London, and the International Center of
Photography, New York, Linda McCartney is known for her passionate
animal rights activism and her staunch vegetarianism. She wrote
cookbooks and founded her own brand of frozen vegetarian meals, all
the while raising a family, continuing to take photographs, and
participating as a Wings band member alongside Paul McCartney. She
died in 1998 at the age of 56.
Sir Paul McCartney has created the ultimate tribute to his late
wife Linda, with a book to celebrate her talent.
