More quotes by Annie Leibovitz
I still need the camera because it is the only reason anyone is talking to me.
Annie Leibovitz
As you get older, you have different tools, and you learn to use photography differently.
Annie Leibovitz
It's hard to watch something go on and be talking at the same time.
Annie Leibovitz
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
If it makes you cry, it goes in the show.
Annie Leibovitz
My lens of choice was always the 35 mm. It was more environmental. You can't come in closer with the 35 mm.
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
The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.
Annie Leibovitz
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
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
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
What I learned from Lennon was something that did stay with me my whole career, which is to be very straightforward. I actually love talking about taking pictures, and I think that helps everyone.
Annie Leibovitz
I shoot a little bit, maybe two rolls, medium format, which is 20 pictures, and if it's not working, I change the position.
Annie Leibovitz
Photography's like this baby that needs to be fed all the time. It's always hungry.
Annie Leibovitz
I am impressed with what happens when someone stays in the same place and you took the same picture over and over and it would be different, every single frame.
Annie Leibovitz
Coming tight was boring to me, just the face... it didn't have enough information.
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
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
At my Rolling Stones' tour, the camera was a protection. I used it in a Zen way.
Annie Leibovitz
When I take a picture I take 10 percent of what I see.
Annie Leibovitz
