I've always cared more about taking pictures than about the art market.

Image
I was out there with the White House press squad, and after his helicopter took off, and the carpet rolled up...This wasn't a photograph that others were taking, but I continued to take pictures.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
What I am interested in now is the landscape. Pictures without people. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually there are no people in my pictures. It is so emotional.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I love having the photograph in my hand. I love looking at the photograph. I love looking at a box of photographs. I just love the still photograph.

Image
Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself.
