I actually love talking about taking pictures, and I think that helps everyone.
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.

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.

At my Rolling Stones' tour, the camera was a protection. I used it in a Zen way.

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

Image
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.

Image
...I gave up on being a journalist - I thought having a point of view was more important than being objective.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
When you are on assignment, film is the least expensive thing in a very practical sense. Your time, the person's time, turns out to be the most valuable thing.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
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
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
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've created a vocabulary of different styles. I draw from many different ways to take a picture. Sometimes I go back to reportage, to journalism.
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
I shoot a little bit, maybe two rolls, medium format, which is 20 pictures, and if it's not working, I change the position.

Image
You don't have to sort of enhance reality. There is nothing stranger than truth.

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
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.
