More quotes by Annie Leibovitz
You have trust in what you think. If you splinter yourself and try to please everyone, you can't.
Annie Leibovitz
A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.
Annie Leibovitz
Things happen in front of you. That's perhaps the most wonderful and mysterious aspect of photography.
Annie Leibovitz
The camera makes you forget you're there. It's not like you are hiding but you forget, you are just looking so much.
Annie Leibovitz
My hope is that we continue to nurture the places that we love, but that we also look outside our immediate worlds.
Annie Leibovitz
Most people, especially successful people, are hard-working. They want to participate. They want to do things well.
Annie Leibovitz
My lens of choice was always the 35 mm. It was more environmental. You can't come in closer with the 35 mm.
Annie Leibovitz
When I take a picture I take 10 percent of what I see.
Annie Leibovitz
A very subtle difference can make the picture or not.
Annie Leibovitz
A photograph is just a little, teeny-weeny, small piece of life. I feel like I see so much more than what I can actually get.
Annie Leibovitz
...I gave up on being a journalist - I thought having a point of view was more important than being objective.
Annie Leibovitz
It's a heavy weight, the camera. Now we have modern and lightweight, small plastic cameras, but in the '70s they were heavy metal.
Annie Leibovitz
I don't think there is anything wrong with white space. I don't think it's a problem to have a blank wall.
Annie Leibovitz
You have trust in what you think. If you splinter yourself and try to please everyone, you can’t. It’s important to stay the course. I don’t think I would have lasted this long if I’d listened to anyone. You have to listen somewhat and then put that to the side and know that what you do matters.
Annie Leibovitz
You don't have to sort of enhance reality. There is nothing stranger than truth.
Annie Leibovitz
I feel very proud of the work from the '80s because it is very bright and colorful.
Annie Leibovitz
When you are on assignment, film is the least expensive thing in a very practical sense. Your time, the person's time, turns out to be the most valuable thing.
Annie Leibovitz
All dancers are, by and large, a photographer's dream. They communicate with their bodies and they are trained to be completely responsive to a collaborative situation.
Annie Leibovitz
When I'm asked about my work, I try to explain that there is no mystery involved. It is work. But things happen all the time that are unexpected, uncontrolled, unexplainable, even magical. The work prepares you for that moment. Suddenly the clouds roll in and the soft light you longed for appears.
Annie Leibovitz
My early childhood equipped me really well for my portrait work: The quick encounter, where you are not going to know the subject for very long. These days I am much more comfortable with the fifteen minute relationship, than I am with a life long relationship.
