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.

More quotes by Annie Leibovitz
Most people, especially successful people, are hard-working. They want to participate. They want to do things well.
Annie Leibovitz
What I end up shooting is the situation. I shoot the composition and my subject is going to help the composition or not.
Annie Leibovitz
I still need the camera because it is the only reason anyone is talking to me.
Annie Leibovitz
What I am interested in now is the landscape. Pictures without people. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually there are no people in my pictures. It is so emotional.
Annie Leibovitz
I feel very proud of the work from the '80s because it is very bright and colorful.
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
It's hard to watch something go on and be talking at the same time.
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
Lennon was very helpful. What he taught me seems completely obvious: he expected people to treat each other well.
Annie Leibovitz
A very subtle difference can make the picture or not.
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
In a portrait, you have room to have a point of view. The image may not be literally what's going on, but it's representative.
Annie Leibovitz
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
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
If it makes you cry, it goes in the show.
Annie Leibovitz
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.
Annie Leibovitz
A photograph is just a tiny slice of a subject. A piece of them in a moment. It seems presumptuous to think you can get more than that.
Annie Leibovitz
At my Rolling Stones' tour, the camera was a protection. I used it in a Zen way.
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
Coming tight was boring to me, just the face... it didn't have enough information.
Annie Leibovitz
