MANHATTAN — Manhattan photographer Annie Leibovitz is once again facing financial troubles — she's now being sued by financial firm Brunswick Capital Partners, according to the AP.

In the lawsuit filed on Friday, Brunswick Capital Partners said Leibovitz owes the firm more than $800,000 in fees for working with the photographer to arrange a financing plan with private equity firm Colony Capital to help her manage her debt last month.

In the suit, Brunswick claimed to have "made exhaustive efforts" to set her up with investors to help her out of debt, ultimately striking a deal with Colony to be her sole creditor, according to Bloomberg.

The deal made it so Leibovitz could retain the rights to 100,000 photographs and one million negatives she's taken throughout her 40-year career.

Leibovitz was sued last summer by creditor Art Capital Group Inc. after failing to repay a $24 million loan.
