Got her break doing really creative cover art for Rolling Stone, then on to the glossy fashion mags i.e. Vogue. Lots of high profle and celeb portraits, some of them extraordinary. Not everyone's cup of tea, but neither am I. Bottom line, I admire her accomplishments and respect her work. Unlike some celeb photogs, she doesn't seem joined at the hip to any one camera manufacturer or film size.
