Annie Leibovitz
Image
When I take a picture I take 10 percent of what I see.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
My hope is that we continue to nurture the places that we love, but that we also look outside our immediate worlds.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
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
Image
Coming tight was boring to me, just the face... it didn't have enough information.
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'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.
