World famous photographer Annie Leibovitz has given away the rights to her negatives and contract rights so she could receive a loan to pay off her debts.

According to the New York Times the photographer borrowed $15.5m (£10.8m) from Art Capital Group in New York. The paper says the loan is to pay off mortgages as well as other financial worries.

Reports suggest the Art Capital Group expect to make around $120m (£83.3m) in art-related loans this year.

She must be desperate, but if she is able to buy back the rights, from 'Uncle', then maybe it's a temporary set-back. She hopes... She must have high hopes of turning herself around though.

No sympathy for anyone in a position to borrow 15M whatever the circumstance.

I wouldn't have thought Leibovitz would be in such a position, considering who she shoots for.
