I hope this doesn't become a double post (i tried posting before, but it didn't show up)

Helmut Newton: I shoot with a 35mm Canon. Ninety-percent of the time it�s on automatic. I even use the flash that�s on the camera. It�s really an amateur�s equipment....Did you see the last series I did for American Vogue, the bathing suits? They were done in a very big studio in Hollywood. They set up all these sophisticated, very professional lights. But I said, �Get rid of them.� I used my 35mm camera and flash. I generally use very, very little lighting.
