Annie Leibovitz presents her selected portrait work spanning eleven transformative years in contemporary culture. This collection follows her previous landmark volumes covering 1970-1990 and 1990-2005, completing a trilogy of her career's major phases. Leibovitz chose her strongest and most representative images from 2005 through 2016, capturing over 150 subjects with her distinctive artistic vision and ability to reveal intimate moments with public figures. The photographer documents cultural icons including Venus and Serena Williams, Barack Obama, Queen Elizabeth II, LeBron James, Caitlyn Jenner, Joan Didion, and Anna Wintour. Alexandra Fuller contributes an essay examining Leibovitz's work, while the photographer herself provides an afterword reflecting on this period. The volume includes previously unpublished photographs alongside celebrated images that shaped how we see contemporary celebrities, athletes, writers, and political leaders during a decade of significant cultural change.
