It’s difficult to define Leibovitz’s style of photography because she continually adapts her style to reflect the times and the demands of her clients. On December 8, 1980, Leibovitz had a photo shoot with John Lennon for Rolling Stone, and she promised him he would make the cover. She had initially tried to get a picture with just Lennon alone, as Rolling Stone wanted, but Lennon insisted that both he and Yoko Ono be on the cover. Leibovitz then tried to re-create something like the kissing scene from the couple's Double Fantasy album cover, a picture Leibovitz loved. She had John remove his clothes and curl up next to Yoko on the floor. Leibovitz recalls, a b Allen Salkin (February 24, 2009). "That Old Master? It's at the Pawnshop". The New York Times.

She herself is famous for documenting the famous. This was made clear to her when she was denied access to the courtroom in which Simpson’s trial was taking place, but later spotted by the judge and allowed in – why? Because the judge was a fan. This instance in particular is a good example of how fame has positively affected her work. Many, many well known people would jump at the chance to be photographed by her in this day and age. a b "Annie Leibovitz Career Timeline". American Masters. WNET. January 3, 2007 .
