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.

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.

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.

My lens of choice was always the 35 mm. It was more environmental. You can't come in closer with the 35 mm.

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.

I feel very proud of the work from the '80s because it is very bright and colorful.
Annie Leibovitz

Lennon was very helpful. What he taught me seems completely obvious: he expected people to treat each other well.

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
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.

Image
I still need the camera because it is the only reason anyone is talking to me.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
...I gave up on being a journalist - I thought having a point of view was more important than being objective.

Image
Everyone keeps asking you for pictures, and after a while you get tired of that. I always say, They are in the archives.

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

Image
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.

As you get older, you have different tools, and you learn to use photography differently.
