It's a heavy weight, the camera. Now we have modern and lightweight, small plastic cameras, but in the '70s they were heavy metal.

More quotes by Annie Leibovitz
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.
Annie Leibovitz
I shoot a little bit, maybe two rolls, medium format, which is 20 pictures, and if it's not working, I change the position.
Annie Leibovitz
In this day and age of things moving so, so fast, we still long for things to stop, and we as a society love the still image. Every time there is some terrible or great moment, we remember the stills.
Annie Leibovitz
What I learned from Lennon was something that did stay with me my whole career, which is to be very straightforward. I actually love talking about taking pictures, and I think that helps everyone.
Annie Leibovitz
All dancers are, by and large, a photographer's dream. They communicate with their bodies and they are trained to be completely responsive to a collaborative situation.
Annie Leibovitz
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
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
Everyone keeps asking you for pictures, and after a while you get tired of that. I always say, They are in the archives.
Annie Leibovitz
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.
Annie Leibovitz
...I gave up on being a journalist - I thought having a point of view was more important than being objective.
Annie Leibovitz
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
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
I still need the camera because it is the only reason anyone is talking to me.
Annie Leibovitz
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
Photography's like this baby that needs to be fed all the time. It's always hungry.
Annie Leibovitz
It's hard to watch something go on and be talking at the same time.
Annie Leibovitz
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
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
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
A very subtle difference can make the picture or not.
Annie Leibovitz
