not just a great photographer, but a guy who did things his way.
a trend setter, not a follower, who did not kiss an art director's ass.
my favorite photographer.
if a shooter shot hardcore in a stylized way (such as) helmut newton that shooter would make a mint.
his images are provocative, intelligent.
he was not an advocate of shooting thousands of images to get one keeper. he was frugal, he called it "a waste of good film".
he was fussy. he set up the shot in his mind, and only when the scene was exactly right did he trip the shutter.
one of my favorites is "girl looks at a man". you see her mind at work in the image.
married to the same woman many years who i think managed his work.
class guy, all around. a huge loss to the art world.
