“I’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” PeopleKnowsShouldMeanSaidHomeYoungCoursesCan DoDifferencesMillionsSubjectsPhotographerPhotographBest ThingsIntimateStayingFamily And Friends Author:Annie Leibovitz
“I think self-portraits are very difficult. I’ve always seen mine as straightforward, very stripped down, hair pulled back. No shirt. Whatever light happened to be available. I’d want it to be very graphic – about darkness and light. No one else should be there, but I’m scared to do it by myself. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. The whole idea of a self-portrait is strange. I’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.” IfsThinkingWantShouldLongIdeasSelfWholeLightWould BeDifficultSidesDarkDarknessHappenedMinesStrangeHairLong TimeCamerasPhotographerPhotographScaredAvailableShirtsPortraitsLinkedGraphicLight And DarknessStraightforwardSelf PortraitSelf Portrait Photography Author:Annie Leibovitz
