Annie Leibovitz joins up with Ikea for ‘dream project’ about family life


Project was ‘so powerful and emotional’, photographer says, with results showcased during Paris fashion week

She’s the photographer to the stars whose portraits have graced the covers of high-end glossies from Vogue to Vanity Fair, so when Annie Leibovitz announced her latest collaboration would be with Ikea, well, there was a lot to unpack. She says it was illuminating finding different definitions of “family” – including commune-like living, three parents looking after their son, and a young couple who had moved in with an older widow. They range from Praise Hassan in Nigeria, who took pictures of her best friend’s house, to Toma Hurduc in Romania, who documented his partner and their dog.
