Annie Leibovitz
Image
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
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 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.
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
If it makes you cry, it goes in the show.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
Coming tight was boring to me, just the face... it didn't have enough information.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.
Annie Leibovitz
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.
