Photography Great, Arnold Newman Dies

Another great has left us ... Arnold Newman is perhaps one of the most candid and powerful photographers you will ever come across. His work is famous for capturing the essence of his subjects. His portraits of Igor Stravinsky, Pablo Picasso, Marilyn Monroe, Otto Frank, Andrew Wyeth, Andy Warhol and Alfried Krupp are excellent examples of his ability to capture and convey character. His death is a great loss to us. To see some of his powerful images visit PDNs Legends Online and Digital Journalist.
I leave you with a quote which captures the essence of his talent -
We do not take pictures with our cameras,
but with our hearts and minds.
Arnold Newman 88 - 1918-2006
