By way of introducing herself at the press preview of her new touring exhibition, "Women: New Portraits," Annie Leibovitz says, "I love photography so much."
It seems like an oddly disingenuous thing to say for someone who is perhaps the most well-known and accomplished portrait photographers working today.
The show itself looks fairly makeshift; it could have been much slicker. As it is, there are only dozens, rather than hundreds, of physical prints. These are modestly-sized and pinned to a board, rather than framed or mounted. There are also three large screens of slide shows that show off her more production-heavy work. This unbalanced and relatively simple setup is a little puzzling.
