A lot can be told from what happens in between the main moments.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
When you involve people, they come out, you see them, you get to see their sense of humor.

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.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
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
Sometimes I enjoy just photographing the surface because I think it can be as revealing as going to the heart of the matter.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
People buy ideas, they don't buy photographs.
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
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.

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.
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.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I admired the work of photographers like Beaton, Penn, and Avedon as much as I respected the grittier photographers such as Robert Frank. But in the same way that I had to find my own way of reportage, I had to find my own form of glamour.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
Nature is so powerful, so strong. It takes you to a place within yourself.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
Things happen in front of you. That's perhaps the most wonderful and mysterious aspect of photography.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
There must be a reason why photographers are not very good at verbal communication. I think we get lazy.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I wish that all of nature's magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I'm more interested in being good than being famous.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
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.
