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

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

Image
There are still so many places on our planet that remain unexplored. I'd love to one day peel back the mystery and understand them.
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.

I don't think there is anything wrong with white space. I don't think it's a problem to have a blank wall.

A photograph is just a little, teeny-weeny, small piece of life. I feel like I see so much more than what I can actually get.

Annie Leibovitz
Image
I love having the photograph in my hand. I love looking at the photograph. I love looking at a box of photographs. I just love the still photograph.

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.

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 sometimes find the surface interesting. To say that the mark of a good portrait is whether you get them or get the soul - I don't think this is possible all of the time.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
My early childhood equipped me really well for my portrait work: The quick encounter, where you are not going to know the subject for very long. These days I am much more comfortable with the fifteen minute relationship, than I am with a life long relationship.

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.

Photography is not something you retire from.

Image
A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.

Image
The camera makes you forget you're there. It's not like you are hiding but you forget, you are just looking so much.

I’d like to think that the actions we take today will allow others in the future to discover the wonders of landscapes we helped protect but never had the chance to enjoy ourselves.
