More quotes by Annie Leibovitz
I still need the camera because it is the only reason anyone is talking to me.
Annie Leibovitz
Lennon was very helpful. What he taught me seems completely obvious: he expected people to treat each other well.
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
If I didn't have my camera to remind me constantly, I am here to do this, I would eventually have slipped away, I think. I would have forgotten my reason to exist.

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
It's hard to watch something go on and be talking at the same time.
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.

When you are younger, the camera is like a friend and you can go places and feel like you're with someone, like you have a companion.
Annie Leibovitz
As you get older, you have different tools, and you learn to use photography differently.
Annie Leibovitz
Most people, especially successful people, are hard-working. They want to participate. They want to do things well.
Annie Leibovitz
I feel a responsibility to my backyard. I want it to be taken care of and protected.
Annie Leibovitz
A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.
Annie Leibovitz
At my Rolling Stones' tour, the camera was a protection. I used it in a Zen way.
Annie Leibovitz
The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.
Annie Leibovitz
I'm pretty used to people not liking having their picture taken. I mean, if you do like to have your picture taken, I worry about you.
Annie Leibovitz
There must be a reason why photographers are not very good at verbal communication. I think we get lazy.
Annie Leibovitz
Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself.
Annie Leibovitz
You have trust in what you think. If you splinter yourself and try to please everyone, you can’t. It’s important to stay the course. I don’t think I would have lasted this long if I’d listened to anyone. You have to listen somewhat and then put that to the side and know that what you do matters.
Annie Leibovitz
