Vanity Fair’s Year in Photographs, 2013

In the year of Vanity Fair’s centennial anniversary, contributing photographers kept with the magazine’s tradition of delivering iconic images month after month. From Kate Upton, photographed blowing out our birthday candle, by Annie Leibovitz, to Mark Seliger’s January portraits of comedy, to December’s portfolio of Liberty Ross on the beach, captured by Norman Jean Roy, here is a look back at the indelible photos of the year.
