Leibovitz lost herself with fame and money, she became a product herself. Sad to me. Most of her pictures were made by her assistants.

I see the same with Gregory Crewdson who basically shows up and presses the shutter 🤷‍♂️ James Patterson, the writer also hires people to write a lot of his work, which I 110% do not understand how a writer and artist could do such a thing 😢

Liebowitz was great 40 years ago - but after she joined Vanity Fair she became just a tableau photographer - doing big overproduced and lifeless setups that she could delegate to her staff and then just walk in and push the shutter button.

I have Annie’s ‘At Work’ and ‘Wonderland’ which I think is a much better book, despite the fact that most of the work in it being created by her assistants 🫤
