American Cinematographer - April 2009 - 71

“everything would stop, and they’d look at me as if to say, ‘What do you want?’” After three months, the film’s core subject became evident: the yin-and-yang dynamic between Wintour and her creative director, Grace Coddington, a colleague of 20 years. But Coddington was angry at Wintour for granting the filmmakers access and refused to play ball. Then, Cutler noticed how Coddington enjoyed working with photographers. He recalls, “I told Bob that Grace would feel differently about our film if she got to know him; she could connect to his artistic soul.” Cutler’s instinct proved correct. Coddington agreed to look at My Architect, which Richman shot, and Cutler’s Perfect Candidate, about Oliver North’s Senate race. The next day, she said she’d cooperate. Cutler recalls Pennebaker’s technique for disarming his subjects: “The first thing he’d do was go over to the table, take the camera apart and start cleaning it.” That way, the cameraman became just another guy doing his job, setting people at ease. Richman, however, says he doesn’t have a technique. “Instead, I have a demeanor. I treat people the way I would if I didn’t have a camera. The first time you walk into a room, you might see something great happening, but you don’t have the right to shoot it yet. You have to believe that if you don’t shoot it now, you will get something better later. If you treat people with respect, then you shouldn’t go past that boundary. That boundary will get closer and closer until you have those moments you’ve been waiting for.” Richman’s restraint won the trust of the notoriously private Wintour. “Anna liked me because I didn’t try to engage her in small talk,” he says. With Coddington, the bond came more slowly. “Grace is a lovely person, so once she let her guard down, she became this incredible on-camera personality,” says the No. Booth 24 - B 02 SU 1 +90° super BOGIE – motorized – swivel range ± 90° powerful DC-motor continuous adjustable touch & go 0° – 90° handheld control unit with joystick and display www.denz-deniz.com 71
