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

More quotes by Annie Leibovitz
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.
Annie Leibovitz
As a young person, and I know it’s hard to believe that I was shy, but you could take your camera, and it would take you to places: it was like having a friend, like having someone to go out with and look at the world. I would do things with a camera I wouldn’t do normally if I was just by myself.
Annie Leibovitz
I still need the camera because it is the only reason anyone is talking to me.
Annie Leibovitz
I've created a vocabulary of different styles. I draw from many different ways to take a picture. Sometimes I go back to reportage, to journalism.
Annie Leibovitz
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.
Annie Leibovitz
A lot can be told from what happens in between the main moments.
Annie Leibovitz
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
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
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.
Annie Leibovitz
A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.
Annie Leibovitz
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.
Annie Leibovitz
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
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.
Annie Leibovitz
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
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
The camera makes you forget you're there. It's not like you are hiding but you forget, you are just looking so much.
Annie Leibovitz
As you get older, you have different tools, and you learn to use photography differently.
Annie Leibovitz
My hope is that we continue to nurture the places that we love, but that we also look outside our immediate worlds.
Annie Leibovitz
At my Rolling Stones' tour, the camera was a protection. I used it in a Zen way.
Annie Leibovitz
I was scared to do anything in the studio because it felt so claustrophobic. I wanted to be somewhere where things could happen and the subject wasn't just looking back at you.
Annie Leibovitz
