There are still so many places on our planet that remain unexplored. I'd love to one day peel back the mystery and understand them.
Annie LeibovitzMy hope is that we continue to nurture the places that we love, but that we also look outside our immediate worlds.
Annie LeibovitzI 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 LeibovitzIn 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 LeibovitzI’ve said about a million times that the best thing a young photographer can do is to stay close to home. Start with your friends and family, the people who will put up with you. Discover what it means to be close to your work, to be intimate with a subject. Measure the difference between that and working with someone you don't know as much about. Of course there are many good photographs that have nothing to do with staying close to home, and I guess what I'm really saying is that you should take pictures of something that has meaning for you
