Bill Brandt


In my portraits I try to avoid the fleeting expression and vivacity of a snapshot.

 If there is any method in the way I take pictures, I believe it lies in this. See the subject first. Do not try to force it to be a picture of this, that or the other thing. Stand apart from it. Then something will happen. The subject will reveal itself.
 (Bill Brandt, 1904-1983)

Eleanor

Callahan left almost no written records—no diaries, letters, scrapbooks or teaching notes. 
His technical photographic method was to go out almost every morning, walk the city he lived in and take numerous pictures.

Callahan met his future wife—Eleanor Knupp on a blind date in 1933. At that time she was a secretary at Chrysler Motors in Detroit and he was a clerk. They married three years later. In 1950 their daughter Barbara was born. 

He photographed his wife and daughter and the streets, scenes and buildings of cities where he lived, showing a strong sense of line and form, and light and darkness.

From 1948 to 1953 Eleanor, and sometimes Barbara, were shown out in the landscape as a tiny counterpoint to large expanses of park, skyline or water.

 ...To be a photographer, one must photograph. No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the simple act of making pictures. Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there are no guarantees that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters...
(Harry Callahan)

Helmut Newton: Portraits


I did find a wonderful girl last year, but the photographs that we did were more about motorcars.
(Helmut Newton)




I was lucky to have my wife as the art director, and it turned out to be quite something - a great success. I'm very proud of it.
(Helmut Newton)




It's that I don't like white paper backgrounds. A woman does not live in front of white paper. She lives on the street, in a motor car, in a hotel room.
(Helmut Newton)








Technically, I have not changed very much. Ask my assistants. They'll tell you, I am the easiest photographer to work with. I don't have heavy equipment. I work out of one bag.
(Helmut Newton)
