Angelina Jolie appears on the cover of Vogue magazine's January issue. Jolie stands among the sand dunes of California's Death Valley.

"It was almost like a studio portrait, but in the desert," famed photographer Annie Leibovitz told In Touch magazine about her second experience photographing the Oscar-winning do-gooder.

"I loved using just the desert as a simple background," Annie says. "The only problem was that it was 105 degrees and it was boiling."
