Image
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
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.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
There must be a reason why photographers are not very good at verbal communication. I think we get lazy.

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.
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.

Image
When you are younger, the camera is like a friend and you can go places and feel like you're with someone, like you have a companion.

As you get older, you have different tools, and you learn to use photography differently.
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
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
Most people, especially successful people, are hard-working. They want to participate. They want to do things well.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
You have trust in what you think. If you splinter yourself and try to please everyone, you can't.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
The work which is manipulated looks a little boring to me. I think life is pretty strange anyway. It is wooo, wooo, wooo!
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.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
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
Image
The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.

Image
I'm more interested in being good than being famous.

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