Arnold Newman introduced

Newman was born in new york on March 3, 2008 and grew up in New Jersey and Florida. 18 years old, admitted to Miami University, specializing in painting. Unfortunately, two years later, the Great Depression swept across the United States, and Newman had to drop out of school and embark on the road of making money. His first job was as a handyman in a small photo studio in Philadelphia. Later, he set up his own photography studio there, charging 49 cents for each photo. In 2000, he recalled in an interview: "If customers don't like it, I will take another photo for them, but if customers still don't like it, I will give them back 49 cents." Dealing with all kinds of travelers all day made Newman interested in the characteristics of different characters, which laid the foundation for him to become a portrait photographer in the future. More importantly, he learned the skills of communicating with others, and he was familiar with them from birth in a few words. This technique is very useful in portrait photography. Newman said: "No matter who you are, you will feel embarrassed to be photographed. As a photographer, you must be good at getting along with the subjects and let them talk and laugh in front of you. "
