Annie Leibovitz People Quotations

I've never liked the word 'celebrity.' I like to photograph people who are good at what they do.

Lennon was very helpful. What he taught me seems completely obvious: he expected people to treat each other well.

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.

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.

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

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.

When you involve people, they come out, you see them, you get to see their sense of humor.

People buy ideas, they don't buy photographs.
