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
Image
A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.

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.

Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
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.

Image
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
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
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
Image
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
