  Image reproduced in: Camera world international, August 1965 p.18 with caption "Here he [Mr. Joern Utzon] is explaining a feature of this magnificent building. Jozef Vissel who took the shot for Artransa Park Studios for whom he works, made 30 exposures on the one negative with a Linhof 4x5 loaded with HP3 rated at 1000 ASA. It was a hurry up job and Mr. Utzon was able to leave the studio within two hours with the print he wanted."
  Vissel, in an email to the Curator of Photographs 22/09/2013 stated "... nobody seems to have noticed that I used different lighting on his face and hands. For some reason I decided to use cross lighting. Why I don't know but it seems to me now that it was a good idea. It looks good on his hands but it created a dark strip in the middle of his face. So, I first used a single side light on his face, turned off the light, put the black camera cloth over his face, switched on the two cross lights and clicked away as he moved his hands."
