More quotes by 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.

I actually love talking about taking pictures, and I think that helps everyone.

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
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
If it makes you cry, it goes in the show.
Annie Leibovitz
You don't have to sort of enhance reality. There is nothing stranger than truth.
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
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
...I gave up on being a journalist - I thought having a point of view was more important than being objective.
Annie Leibovitz
Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.
Annie Leibovitz
At my Rolling Stones' tour, the camera was a protection. I used it in a Zen way.
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.
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
