"I don't like to talk about anything." That sealed it for me. What a great guy. Zero pretense.

Elliott Erwitt is my favorite, funny he is answering directly there are no fills in his answers.
@alexforsyth5895 2 жыл бұрын
I could listen to Elliott all day long but his photographs speak volumes. He often says he is not a good talker and with photographs like his and his sense of humor and humanity it would be great loss. He is one of the all-time greats!

I was lucky to be able to spend a day with Elliot 15 years ago. It was a very special experience. He talked passionately about photography, both his commercial work and what he considered his hobby street photography. He also talked about photographers rights and the vigorous need to defend copyright. A great man and a great photographer.

Thanks for this interview. I saw an exhibition of his work in Paris last month. His parents fled the Russian revolution to Paris, but there’s never been any information about them. Elliot grew up in Europe and the USA, so he’s an accomplished linguist. His body of work (600,000+ photos) is simply amazing!

I was delighted and charmed by this interview. Erwitt is a master, and it was lovely to see that he was still alive and was working at the time this film was made. We are lucky that Hugh has taken the time and effort to capture, what is a piece of photographic history. Thank you Hugh!

Hi Hugh good evening. Thank you for the like that my comment. Mind me if I share this idea....has any one or/ have you ever seen some one attempting a panoramic shot on 8x10 camera?? It should be an interesting challenge.....and I would say an amazing result at the end of the day. I'm a digital photographer on all my work, but I appreciate the quality of this format and the stunning results it delivers. Would these be considered a leap forward from the creative bench??

Ah, Leica. The only other sound that is so heavenly then the almost inaudible whisper of it's shutter as it captures an image designed, and well thought out by it's maker, is the gentle sound of a newborn baby as she draws in oxygen, and breathes out life, and in this case, extraordinary images of life.
