I feel very proud of the work from the '80s because it is very bright and colorful.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
What I end up shooting is the situation. I shoot the composition and my subject is going to help the composition or not.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I sometimes find the surface interesting. To say that the mark of a good portrait is whether you get them or get the soul - I don't think this is possible all of the time.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I wish that all of nature's magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
Coming tight was boring to me, just the face... it didn't have enough information.
Annie Leibovitz

Irving Penn said he didn't want to photograph anyone under 60, and I think there is some truth about it.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I didn't want to let women down. One of the stereotypes I see breaking is the idea of aging and older women not being beautiful.

Image
I fight to take a good photograph every single time.

Photography's like this baby that needs to be fed all the time. It's always hungry.

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.

When I started working for Rolling Stone, I became very interested in journalism and thought maybe that's what I was doing, but it wasn't.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
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.
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
One doesn't stop seeing. One doesn't stop framing. It doesn't turn off and turn on. It's on all the time.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
At my Rolling Stones' tour, the camera was a protection. I used it in a Zen way.

Image
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.

Image
A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I've always cared more about taking pictures than about the art market.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
Everyone has a point of view. Some people call it style, but what we're really talking about is the guts of a photograph. When you trust your point of view, that's when you start taking pictures.

When you involve people, they come out, you see them, you get to see their sense of humor.
