Sometimes I enjoy just photographing the surface because I think it can be as revealing as going to the heart of the matter.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
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.

I still need the camera because it is the only reason anyone is talking to me.

Image
I feel a responsibility to my backyard. I want it to be taken care of and protected.

I don't try to overintellectua lize my concepts of people. In fact, the ideas I have, if you talk about them, they seem extremely corny and it's only in their execution that people can enjoy them...It's something I've learned to trust: The stupider it is, the better it looks.

Image
The work which is manipulated looks a little boring to me. I think life is pretty strange anyway. It is wooo, wooo, wooo!

I actually love talking about taking pictures, and I think that helps everyone.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I've always cared more about taking pictures than about the art market.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
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.

When you are on assignment, film is the least expensive thing in a very practical sense. Your time, the person's time, turns out to be the most valuable thing.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
When I was younger, I did things with a camera I would not do by myself. I remember going down to the docks in San Francisco and asking a fisherman if he would take me out on his boat. I would never do that without a camera.

Image
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.
Annie Leibovitz
Image
I was scared to do anything in the studio because it felt so claustrophobic. I wanted to be somewhere where things could happen and the subject wasn't just looking back at you.

A very subtle difference can make the picture or not.
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.

Image
My lens of choice was always the 35 mm. It was more environmental. You can't come in closer with the 35 mm.

I’d like to think that the actions we take today will allow others in the future to discover the wonders of landscapes we helped protect but never had the chance to enjoy ourselves.

I fight to take a good photograph every single time.
