You know you've really made it in Hollywood if your photo is snapped by Annie Leibovitz.
Some of the most iconic celebrity images from the last few decades - Whoopi Goldberg in a bath of milk, Demi Moore nude and pregnant, Bruce Springsteen on the cover of
Born in the USA - have been the result of Leibovitz's keen eye and camera shutter.
Her stunning photography has seen her work for some of the world's finest magazines and papers - after returning from a stint in a kibbutz in Israel, Leibovitz kicked off her career in 1970 at the recently launched
Rolling Stone magazine. Since 1983, she has worked as a featured portrait photographer for
Vanity Fair.
She also gets paid the big bucks for advertising campaigns with the likes of Disney and Louis Vuitton.
In April this year, Leibovitz had a taste of controversy when 15-year-old Miley Cyrus posed topless for a Leibovitz shoot for
Vanity Fair.
The resulting photos show Cyrus without a top, her bare back exposed but her front covered with a bedsheet. The image caused an outcry from some members of the public, and a spokesperson for Disney described it as "a situation [that] was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines."
Leibovitz responded by saying: "I'm sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted. The photograph is a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little makeup, and I think it is very beautiful."
So there.
