Her Smithsonian exhibition, “Annie Leibovitz: Pilgrimage,” is on display at the Smithsonian American Art Museum until May 20.

Curious and moved by the natural subjects, Leibovitz visited historical sites across the country. The personal, 64-photograph exhibition includes dramatic shots of Niagara Falls and Old Faithful as well as inside looks into the homes of Thomas Jefferson, Emily Dickinson, Georgia O’Keeffe, Pete Seeger, and Elvis Presley. She channeled the lifestyles of artists she admires, such as Ansel Adams and Julia Margaret Cameron.

On January 24, Leibovitz stepped in front of the cameras to discuss her inspiration for the series. The sold-out Smithsonian event affirmed the photographer’s well-regarded place in the DC arts scene; no First Family required.
