Annie Leibovitz
Image
I feel very proud of the work from the '80s because it is very bright and colorful.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
Coming tight was boring to me, just the face... it didn't have enough information.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
When you go to take someone's picture, the first thing they say is, what you want me to do? Everyone is very awkward.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
You don't have to sort of enhance reality. There is nothing stranger than truth.

...I gave up on being a journalist - I thought having a point of view was more important than being objective.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I'm pretty used to people not liking having their picture taken. I mean, if you do like to have your picture taken, I worry about you.
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
The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.
