all automatic, all in there

“It’s all automatic. All I have to do is press the button. It’s a camera that every amateur buys. [pause, points to his head] It’s all in there.”

the photographer or the camera?

“If a photographer cares about the people before the lens and is compassionate, much is given. It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument.”

Helmut Newton on fashion photography

“When I photograph women or fashion, my philosophy is that a woman doesn’t live against a white paper studio background, she has a world of her own that is either in her house, in the street, in a car, by the sea or wherever I fancy to put her. Basically Monte-Carlo and it’s surroundings are my studio.”

Helmut Newton
