Annie Leibovitz - What photos does she take?

What type of photography does she take?
Annie Leibovitz specialises in celebrity portraits. Her most recent works are those for Walt Disney, the Disney dream series showcases celebrities taking on the roles of the most common fairy tales. They are quite comical and cartoon like yet they showcase the essence of youth behind the A-list celebrities. She has also recently shot some images for Vouge, once again with the underlying theme of youth with the overall concept being either Wizard of Oz or Alice in Wonderland. Her most famous cover’s is the collector’s item of John Lennon curled around his fully clothed wife Yoko Ono, taken just hours before his death on December 8th1980.
 
This image shows how Annie Leibovitz is not afraid to shoot the most controversial shots in order to convey the exact message she wants to get across whilst creating a sense of individual an portrait. I personally don't like this photo as much as her others because it doesn't show her usual theme of fictional worlds and fantasy.
