How Annie Leibovitz captured Kim and Kanye's selfie side
In Portraits 2005–2016, Annie Leibovitz offers us a clear look into the lives of two huge social media stars
When Annie Leibovitz began shooting portraits professionally in 1970 there were no digital cameras, and the notion that you might take and share photos using a handheld telephone would have seemed like a sci-fi writer's fantasy, rather than a daily reality.
Nevertheless, in our new book Annie Leibovitz: Portraits 2005–2016 the brilliant US photographer captures the spirit of our latter-day selfie culture.
This photograph, taken in 2014, pictures two of the world's most popular social media stars of that moment - Kanye West and Kim Kardashian – in the act of selfie-style portraiture. Leibovitiz's image, taken shortly after Kim and Kanye's wedding and the birth of their daughter North – also pictured – is a wonderful clear shot of what can be, at times, a hugely distortive image-making process.

A few minutes into my conversation with Annie Leibovitz, she informs me that my premise is bogus. The terms she uses are gentler, but my idea—to discuss five or so individual pictures from her new book, Annie Leibovitz: Portraits 2005–2016, and give a behind-the-scenes sense of what goes into them—is not really the point, she warmly corrects me. “To me,” she says, “it’s not just about the individual pictures. The power in the effort that goes into creating a body of work—how the pictures are brothers and sisters to one another.”
You can create a whole new story in a book, Leibovitz says. The story of this particular volume began as the photographer was wrapping up her work on Women, another book-length project conducted with Susan Sontag. “I just had all this work I wanted to clear out,” Leibovitz tells me, “and I was excited by the idea that the book would end with Hillary Clinton—maybe I’d do a portrait of her in the White House.” Now, the photographer admits, the book “doesn’t quite have an ending—it meanders about.”
Duly chastened, with a corrected understanding of the purpose and vision of this book, I proceed anyway, and the legendary photographer gamely plays along.
