More quotes by Annie Leibovitz
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
I’d like to think that the actions we take today will allow others in the future to discover the wonders of landscapes we helped protect but never had the chance to enjoy ourselves.
Annie Leibovitz
Things happen in front of you. That's perhaps the most wonderful and mysterious aspect of photography.
Annie Leibovitz
You have trust in what you think. If you splinter yourself and try to please everyone, you can't.
Annie Leibovitz
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
If it makes you cry, it goes in the show.
Annie Leibovitz
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
When I take a picture I take 10 percent of what I see.
Annie Leibovitz
If I didn't have my camera to remind me constantly, I am here to do this, I would eventually have slipped away, I think. I would have forgotten my reason to exist.
Annie Leibovitz
You don't have to sort of enhance reality. There is nothing stranger than truth.
Annie Leibovitz
I am impressed with what happens when someone stays in the same place and you took the same picture over and over and it would be different, every single frame.
Annie Leibovitz
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
A very subtle difference can make the picture or not.
Annie Leibovitz
As a young person, and I know it’s hard to believe that I was shy, but you could take your camera, and it would take you to places: it was like having a friend, like having someone to go out with and look at the world. I would do things with a camera I wouldn’t do normally if I was just by myself.
Annie Leibovitz
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.
Annie Leibovitz
Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.
Annie Leibovitz
When I was younger, I did things with a camera I would not do by myself. I remember going down to the docks in San Francisco and asking a fisherman if he would take me out on his boat. I would never do that without a camera.
Annie Leibovitz
There must be a reason why photographers are not very good at verbal communication. I think we get lazy.
Annie Leibovitz
I admired the work of photographers like Beaton, Penn, and Avedon as much as I respected the grittier photographers such as Robert Frank. But in the same way that I had to find my own way of reportage, I had to find my own form of glamour.
Annie Leibovitz
There is a myth that the portrait photographer is supposed to make the subject relax, and that's the real person. But I'm interested in whatever is going on. And I'm not that comfortable myself.
Annie Leibovitz
