It's a heavy weight, the camera. Now we have modern and lightweight, small plastic cameras, but in the '70s they were heavy metal.

I don't try to overintellectua lize my concepts of people. In fact, the ideas I have, if you talk about them, they seem extremely corny and it's only in their execution that people can enjoy them...It's something I've learned to trust: The stupider it is, the better it looks.

Everyone keeps asking you for pictures, and after a while you get tired of that. I always say, They are in the archives.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
If it makes you cry, it goes in the show.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I've created a vocabulary of different styles. I draw from many different ways to take a picture. Sometimes I go back to reportage, to journalism.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
My hope is that we continue to nurture the places that we love, but that we also look outside our immediate worlds.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
In this day and age of things moving so, so fast, we still long for things to stop, and we as a society love the still image. Every time there is some terrible or great moment, we remember the stills.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
Coming tight was boring to me, just the face... it didn't have enough information.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
A photograph is just a tiny slice of a subject. A piece of them in a moment. It seems presumptuous to think you can get more than that.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.

Image
In a portrait, you have room to have a point of view. The image may not be literally what's going on, but it's representative.
