For fascinating insights into the germination of this iconic image, visit photographer Marc Silber's ''look at Arnold Newman's iconic photo of Igor Stravinsky and the composition lessons that we can learn from Newman's work.'' where he focuses on composition case studies and, in this case, the concept of 'Environmental Portraiture', a term strongly associated with the photographer Arnold Newman.
