More quotes by Annie Leibovitz
The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.
Annie Leibovitz
Nature is so powerful, so strong. It takes you to a place within yourself.
Annie Leibovitz
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.
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
You have trust in what you think. If you splinter yourself and try to please everyone, you can't.
Annie Leibovitz
Lennon was very helpful. What he taught me seems completely obvious: he expected people to treat each other well.
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
A lot can be told from what happens in between the main moments.
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
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.
Annie Leibovitz
I fight to take a good photograph every single time.
Annie Leibovitz
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.
Annie Leibovitz
When you involve people, they come out, you see them, you get to see their sense of humor.
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
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.
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
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
Everyone keeps asking you for pictures, and after a while you get tired of that. I always say, They are in the archives.
Annie Leibovitz
Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.
Annie Leibovitz
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
