Annie Leibovitz
Image
I still need the camera because it is the only reason anyone is talking to me.
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
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
Image
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.

A very subtle difference can make the picture or not.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.
