Annie Leibovitz
Image
Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
Photography's like this baby that needs to be fed all the time. It's always hungry.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
Most people, especially successful people, are hard-working. They want to participate. They want to do things well.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
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
Image
...I gave up on being a journalist - I thought having a point of view was more important than being objective.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
At my Rolling Stones' tour, the camera was a protection. I used it in a Zen way.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I actually love talking about taking pictures, and I think that helps everyone.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I still need the camera because it is the only reason anyone is talking to me.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.
