A photograph is just a little, teeny-weeny, small piece of life. I feel like I see so much more than what I can actually get.

More quotes by Annie Leibovitz
I sometimes find the surface interesting. To say that the mark of a good portrait is whether you get them or get the soul - I don't think this is possible all of the time.
Annie Leibovitz
...I gave up on being a journalist - I thought having a point of view was more important than being objective.
Annie Leibovitz
I fight to take a good photograph every single time.
Annie Leibovitz
When I started working for Rolling Stone, I became very interested in journalism and thought maybe that's what I was doing, but it wasn't.
Annie Leibovitz
I was out there with the White House press squad, and after his helicopter took off, and the carpet rolled up...This wasn't a photograph that others were taking, but I continued to take pictures.
Annie Leibovitz
In this day and age of things moving so, so fast, we still long for things to stop, and we as a society love the still image. Every time there is some terrible or great moment, we remember the stills.
Annie Leibovitz
I feel a responsibility to my backyard. I want it to be taken care of and protected.
Annie Leibovitz
Everyone keeps asking you for pictures, and after a while you get tired of that. I always say, They are in the archives.
Annie Leibovitz
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
The work which is manipulated looks a little boring to me. I think life is pretty strange anyway. It is wooo, wooo, wooo!
Annie Leibovitz
Everyone has a point of view. Some people call it style, but what we're really talking about is the guts of a photograph. When you trust your point of view, that's when you start taking pictures.
Annie Leibovitz
When you involve people, they come out, you see them, you get to see their sense of humor.
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
It's hard to watch something go on and be talking at the same time.
Annie Leibovitz
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
Photography's like this baby that needs to be fed all the time. It's always hungry.
Annie Leibovitz
Lennon was very helpful. What he taught me seems completely obvious: he expected people to treat each other well.
Annie Leibovitz
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
The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.
Annie Leibovitz
I love having the photograph in my hand. I love looking at the photograph. I love looking at a box of photographs. I just love the still photograph.
Annie Leibovitz
