What Annie Leibovitz's most famous photo is called may be surprising. Most historians state that the image of John Lennon and Yoko Ono that the photographer snapped for the January 1981 cover of Rolling Stone is her most famous work. However, it does not have a title apart from “John Lennon and Yoko Ono, The Dakota, New York, December 8, 1980” which refers merely to its subjects and when and where it was taken (it has also appeared online as simply “John Lennon and Yoko Ono”). Leibovitz took the photo on the same day that John Lennon was assassinated outside his apartment. She has previously called it "the photograph of my life."
