For many travel enthusiasts, the concept of all-inclusive cruise lines and resorts is a perfect combination for having a remarkable trip. In fact, with this all-inclusive system, the passenger is situated with drinks and meals included in the package price. In addition to a wide leisure infrastructure with swimming pools, spas, nightclubs, theaters, shops, shows and casinos, the travelers have all they can get to enjoy fun on their sailing days. But, what about being more inclusive regarding travelers? As diversity and inclusiveness are trending issues and spark hot debates in our society, some travel companies have decided to follow this movement. Celebrity Cruises is one of them. The company is hiring some of the world’s most renowned photographers and artists to provide an innovative approach to becoming a more inclusive travel company, aiming to change the face of travel marketing.

Luxury cruise company Celebrity Cruises, in collaboration with Annie Leibowitz and other photographers, is launching a new campaign to make the travel industry more inclusive. A free-to-use, open-source travel image library promises to represent a more diverse selection of people including those with disabilities, from ethnic minorities and from the LGBTQIA+ community.

CHICAGO — Years ago I had a dream that I worked for Annie Leibovitz and she hated me, so she made me work on Thanksgiving and then she fired me because the alligator that I personally wrangled for Nicole Kidman to ride in a photograph for the next issue of Vanity Fair, the poor creature looked tired. I’m not joking about that dream. I think I had just read a biography of Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner and Leibovitz and her legend and herself factor hugely. She very much gave that magazine its look, and later became synonymous with outsized, crazily theatrical celebrity portraiture. That alligator thing, you can imagine it, right? Besides, when you’re Leibovitz, once you’ve suspended Ben Stiller in a bubble above the Seine, dressed Beyonce as Alice in Wonderland and arranged Lena Dunham inside a window display on a busy street — all actual pictures she created, two of those included in her new book, “Wonderland” — what is a dream?

It had been a long day. Danielle Woodhouse Johnson had just completed another week of long commutes from her home in Woodbridge to Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., where she works full-time for an international development company. It was a Friday night in February 2020, just one month before COVID-19 shut down the country. It was dark, cold, and raining. Her feet ached in her high heel shoes, but her day was far from over.

This past month legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz released her newest book, a collection of her long-spanning work in fashion photography, the first compilation of her work in the industry. In Annie Leibovitz: Wonderland, inspired by the story of Alice in Wonderland, Leibovitz journeys through over 300 photos from her career in fashion, including photographing models, designers like Tom Ford and John Galiano, to important political figures and athletes, though, as she would tell it, she never considered herself a fashion photographer at all. Leibovitz joins us to talk the new collection of her work.
