Bashir, Leibovitz, Iraqi Boy Band

Studio 360

This week in Studio 360, Kurt Andersen visits the studio of Annie Leibovitz, America’s leading portrait photographer. She looks through her iconic photos and explains how she creates a sense of heightened reality. A Photoshop detective explains how he spots the fakes — and how strange it is that we no longer trust our eyes. And five young Iraqis form a pop band along the lines of Backstreet Boys or ‘N Sync.
