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.

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

It's hard to watch something go on and be talking at the same time.

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.

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.

My hope is that we continue to nurture the places that we love, but that we also look outside our immediate worlds.

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.

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
I shoot a little bit, maybe two rolls, medium format, which is 20 pictures, and if it's not working, I change the position.

...I gave up on being a journalist - I thought having a point of view was more important than being objective.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
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
Image
When I take a picture I take 10 percent of what I see.
Annie Leibovitz
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.

I wish that all of nature's magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.

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