Annie Leibovitz

I never had an interest in photography, but hearing Annie Leibovitz speak was really intriguing and inspiring. I’ve never seen the Hendricks Chapel that crowded either. She discussed her accomplishments and the obstacles she’s overcome as a photographer. It was inspiring to learn about her confidence, creativity, and passion. I was floored at her ability to turn simple things into art. She is able to give any picture a story and a life –a very rare skill. I was also incredibly impressed at her diverse portfolio. Her top magazine covers illustrate her eye for art and beauty. Through Leibovitz, I learned that pictures really are worth a thousand words. Prior to the event, I didn’t know who exactly Annie Leibovitz was. But I feel lucky to have gotten the chance to hear and see her speak.
