Annie Leibovitz on the fourteen-frame rule

Transcript Summary Repurpose

00:00:03 Most photographers shoot a thousand frames and call it a day. I make fourteen. Only fourteen.

00:00:11 When you have to get the picture in fourteen frames, you stop pressing the button on autopilot.

00:00:18 The twelfth frame is usually the one. The subject has forgotten the camera by then.

00:00:25 That's the whole craft. Not the lens, not the light — the count.

“I used to run a Chrome extension that broke every three months when YouTube changed something. This just works — and it gives me the timestamps I actually need.”
