SOPHIE: Is this more like a personal shot? ARTHUR: Yeah. It's on a golf course. SOPHIE: Oh, it doesn't even look like a golf course. What were you doing there? ARTHUR: I was there on vacation and my friend was driving… SOPHIE: Thank God, because you are not a good driver. ARTHUR: And so I was just doing this [motions that he's shooting through a window]. SOPHIE: Oh, you took this from the car?! ARTHUR: Of course! SOPHIE: That is epic. ARTHUR: I took one picture. SOPHIE: Oh, my God. What a great shot. It almost looks like they're looking at you. So you just had one of your little cameras around your neck? It's so good. I mean, it looks like it's o‚ a movie set. You always have your camera. ARTHUR: Yeah, exactly—so I'm ready for this. SOPHIE: Okay, so this is Naomi Campbell in 1988 in Paris. So tell me, what is going on here? ARTHUR: I was shooting backstage with Azzedine Alaïa. And I saw Naomi doing something with her lipstick. So I took a picture of it. SOPHIE: So you have your camera and then it was just a snap. ARTHUR: Well, you do that all the time, too. SOPHIE: Right. But, you know, it's amazing when it's these iconic images and then you hear that it was really just one snap—you saw it, and you got it, and that was it. You didn't even bother her.
