“Whenever I am assigned to photograph on a movie set, the first thing I do is find a place nearby to set up my own little studio. My job is to interpret a film, not to document it. On my first visit on the set of GoodFellas, which that night was being shot in a huge Brooklyn restaurant and dance hall I found a small storeroom filled with red tablecloths. I decided to tape one to a wall as a backdrop. In a way, the first act dictated the shoot. I pay particular attention on film sets to how the director of photography is lighting the film, and I make that mood the starting point for my own lighting. In this case, I placed one large light box hanging from a boom seven feet over the floor, aimed straight down. During a meal break at midnight the assistant director was able to get the cast—Robert De niro, Joe Pesci, Ray Liotta and Paul Sorvino—into my little studio. After a long day of shooting, they naturally fell into this pose. Next I added a white card reflector pointed up at knee level, took the polaroid and showed it to them. They saw that I got “it” and relaxed into a wonderful session that resulted into the one sheet for the movie and countless magazine covers.” Dirck Halstead, excerpted from his book, Moments In Time: Photos From One of America’s Top Photojournalists
