In this video, colleagues and subjects, including Whoopi Goldberg, Patti Smith, and Arnold Schwarzenegger discuss Leibovitz’s own celebrity status and what it is like to be photographed by her. On Leibovitz’s own celebrity status, and how that translates into her work, Tina Brown, former editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair says: “She is a major star herself, and stars relate to other stars. They’re like dolphins. They speak to each other the same language.” Of being photographed by Leibovitz, Goldberg says: “When you look at her work and you look at all the people she’s photographed, it’s not bad company to be in. It’s like winning an Oscar. It’s limited. It’s a limited company. And the company you’re keeping is not bad at all.”
