More quotes by Annie Leibovitz
Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself.
Annie Leibovitz
Coming tight was boring to me, just the face... it didn't have enough information.
Annie Leibovitz
You don't have to sort of enhance reality. There is nothing stranger than truth.
Annie Leibovitz
My lens of choice was always the 35 mm. It was more environmental. You can't come in closer with the 35 mm.

Photography's like this baby that needs to be fed all the time. It's always hungry.
Annie Leibovitz
It's a heavy weight, the camera. Now we have modern and lightweight, small plastic cameras, but in the '70s they were heavy metal.
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
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
Most people, especially successful people, are hard-working. They want to participate. They want to do things well.
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
There is a myth that the portrait photographer is supposed to make the subject relax, and that's the real person. But I'm interested in whatever is going on. And I'm not that comfortable myself.
Annie Leibovitz
...I gave up on being a journalist - I thought having a point of view was more important than being objective.
Annie Leibovitz
I still need the camera because it is the only reason anyone is talking to me.
Annie Leibovitz
You have trust in what you think. If you splinter yourself and try to please everyone, you can’t. It’s important to stay the course. I don’t think I would have lasted this long if I’d listened to anyone. You have to listen somewhat and then put that to the side and know that what you do matters.
Annie Leibovitz
I feel very proud of the work from the '80s because it is very bright and colorful.
Annie Leibovitz
I actually love talking about taking pictures, and I think that helps everyone.
Annie Leibovitz
What I learned from Lennon was something that did stay with me my whole career, which is to be very straightforward. I actually love talking about taking pictures, and I think that helps everyone.
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
When you are on assignment, film is the least expensive thing in a very practical sense. Your time, the person's time, turns out to be the most valuable thing.
Annie Leibovitz
As you get older, you have different tools, and you learn to use photography differently.
Annie Leibovitz
