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

The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.

Annie Leibovitz

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.

Annie Leibovitz

I fight to take a good photograph every single time.

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

Photography is not something you retire from.

Annie Leibovitz

Annie Leibovitz

I've always cared more about taking pictures than about the art market.

Annie Leibovitz

I'm more interested in being good than being famous.

Annie Leibovitz

A very subtle difference can make the picture or not.

Annie Leibovitz

Photography's like this baby that needs to be fed all the time. It's always hungry.

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 wish that all of nature's magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.

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.

The camera makes you forget you're there. It's not like you are hiding but you forget, you are just looking so much.

Annie Leibovitz

Irving Penn said he didn't want to photograph anyone under 60, and I think there is some truth about it.

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

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

One doesn't stop seeing. One doesn't stop framing. It doesn't turn off and turn on. It's on all the time.

Annie Leibovitz

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

Annie Leibovitz

Things happen in front of you. That's perhaps the most wonderful and mysterious aspect of photography.

Annie Leibovitz

A lot can be told from what happens in between the main moments.

At my Rolling Stones' tour, the camera was a protection. I used it in a Zen way.

If it makes you cry, it goes in the show.

Annie Leibovitz

There must be a reason why photographers are not very good at verbal communication. I think we get lazy.

Annie Leibovitz

I think self-portraits are very difficult. Iโ€™ve always seen mine as straightforward, very stripped down, hair pulled back. No shirt. Whatever light happened to be available. Iโ€™d want it to be very graphic โ€“ about darkness and light. No one else should be there, but Iโ€™m scared to do it by myself. Iโ€™ve been thinking about it for a long time. The whole idea of a self-portrait is strange. Iโ€™m so strongly linked to how I see through the camera that to get to the other side of it would be difficult. It would be as if I were taking a photograph in the dark.

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

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

You have trust in what you think. If you splinter yourself and try to please everyone, you can't.

Annie Leibovitz

When I started to be published I thought about Margaret Bourke-White and the whole journalistic approach to things. I believed I was supposed to catch life going by me - that I wasn't to alter it or tamper with it - that I was just to watch what was going on and report it as best I could. This shoot with John was different. I got involved, and I realized that you can't help but be touched by what goes on in front of you. I no longer believe that there is such a thing as objectivity.

Annie Leibovitz

Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.

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

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.

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

When I take a picture I take 10 percent of what I see.

Annie Leibovitz

I admired the work of photographers like Beaton, Penn, and Avedon as much as I respected the grittier photographers such as Robert Frank. But in the same way that I had to find my own way of reportage, I had to find my own form of glamour.

Annie Leibovitz

Most people, especially successful people, are hard-working. They want to participate. They want to do things well.

Annie Leibovitz

My early childhood equipped me really well for my portrait work: The quick encounter, where you are not going to know the subject for very long. These days I am much more comfortable with the fifteen minute relationship, than I am with a life long relationship.

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
