Life Legends

The three recipients of the Life Legend Award for Lifetime Achievement in Magazine Photography are as follows:

Richard Avedon: “There is no such thing as objectivity. The minute you pick up a camera, you begin to lie—or to tell your own truth . . . It’s not the camera that makes a good picture but the eye and mind of the photographer.”

Sebastiao Selgado: “It is not the photographer who makes the picture but the person being photographed.”

Helmut Newton: “I have always loved my work. I still love it. Taking pictures is just part of me. I find the intellectualizing of the image absolutely deadly.”
