The BBC said the clips for the trailer were "not intended to provide a full picture of what actually happened or of what will be shown in the final programme".
Her Majesty posed for Leibovitz in Buckingham Palace in March for a series of portraits to mark her state visit to the US.
Four official portraits of the Queen have since been released by the famous photographer, renowned for celebrity shots including an iconic photo of a naked John Lennon embracing a clothed Yoko Ono.
The five-part documentary will start on BBC One in the autumn.
The programme observes the working life of the Queen and other members of the Royal Family as they go about their duties at home and abroad.
It covers events including the Queen's 80th birthday celebrations, the State Opening of Parliament, Royal tours, investitures and garden parties.
BBC One controller Peter Fincham said the BBC had had "remarkable access" to the Royal Family.
There are more than 130 official portraits of the Queen throughout her life, many of them on canvas, by a range of artists including Rolf Harris and Lucian Freud.
