Celebrated American photographer Annie Leibovitz has been announced as IKEA’s first ever Artist in Residence. The furniture giant will be despatching the sharp shooter, known for taking striking shots of celebrities for glossy magazines, around the world to capture candid images of people in their homes.<\/p>\n

The project follows the publication of IKEA’s Life at Home Report<\/a>, which found that 47% of people do not feel like their home life is reflected in the media. The report surveyed 37,000 people in 37 countries to reinforce the flat-pack pioneer’s commitment to continually adapt to how we really use our spaces.<\/p>\n

‘The home has always been important in my work,’ says Leibovitz, who is particularly renowned for capturing the authentic essence of her subjects in private moments.<\/p>\n

‘I\u2019ve been photographing people in their homes since I began,’ she contributes. ‘It\u2019s a way to understand who a person is. The advice I give to young photographers is to photograph their families. It\u2019s one of the best ways to start.’<\/p>
