Iโd like to think that the actions we take today will allow others in the future to discover the wonders of landscapes we helped protect but never had the chance to enjoy ourselves.
Annie LeibovitzI 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 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 LeibovitzThere 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 LeibovitzI think self-portraits are very difficult. Iโve always seen mine as straightforward, very stripped down, hair pulled back. No shirt. Whatever light happened to be available. Iโd want it to be very graphic โ about darkness and light. No one else should be there, but Iโm scared to do it by myself. Iโve been thinking about it for a long time. The whole idea of a self-portrait is strange. Iโm 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.
