More quotes by Annie Leibovitz
Photography is not something you retire from.
Annie Leibovitz

Annie Leibovitz

Annie Leibovitz
A very subtle difference can make the picture or not.
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
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.
Annie Leibovitz
When you go to take someone's picture, the first thing they say is, what you want me to do? Everyone is very awkward.
Annie Leibovitz
If it makes you cry, it goes in the show.
Annie Leibovitz
It's hard to watch something go on and be talking at the same time.
Annie Leibovitz
When I take a picture I take 10 percent of what I see.
Annie Leibovitz
Nature is so powerful, so strong. It takes you to a place within yourself.
Annie Leibovitz
The pictures of my family were designed to be on a family wall, they were supposed to be together. It was supposed to copy my mother's wall in her house.
Annie Leibovitz
Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.
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
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
