Leibovitz and John Lennon for Rolling Stone Magazine
On December 8, 1980, Leibovitz had a photo shoot with John Lennon and Yoko Ono for Rolling Stone. Before Leibovitz took the photo, John said, 'You've captured our relationship exactly. Promise me it'll be on the cover'. She looked him in the eye and shook on it. Leibovitz was the last person to professionally photograph Lennon—he was shot and killed by Mark David Chapman five hours later.
