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

A photograph is just a tiny slice of a subject. A piece of them in a moment. It seems presumptuous to think you can get more than that.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
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
Photography's like this baby that needs to be fed all the time. It's always hungry.
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.

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

In this day and age of things moving so, so fast, we still long for things to stop, and we as a society love the still image. Every time there is some terrible or great moment, we remember the stills.

Nature is so powerful, so strong. It takes you to a place within yourself.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I wish that all of nature's magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.

I'm pretty used to people not liking having their picture taken. I mean, if you do like to have your picture taken, I worry about you.

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.

Image
One doesn't stop seeing. One doesn't stop framing. It doesn't turn off and turn on. It's on all the time.

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.

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 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
I am impressed with what happens when someone stays in the same place and you took the same picture over and over and it would be different, every single frame.

At my Rolling Stones' tour, the camera was a protection. I used it in a Zen way.

Image
I was out there with the White House press squad, and after his helicopter took off, and the carpet rolled up...This wasn't a photograph that others were taking, but I continued to take pictures.

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.

People buy ideas, they don't buy photographs.

When I started working for Rolling Stone, I became very interested in journalism and thought maybe that's what I was doing, but it wasn't.
