Pre-Lot Text
‘Over the last year or so, I’ve started to tilt the camera to make diagonal compositions, and now I do it quite often... It makes control of the background possible... Since I’ve started using the diagonal again, I’ve noticed that French television has picked up on some of the camera work. Not that what I’m doing is an innovation. It’s just a memory of my past.’ Helmut Newton
