In reply to shaw:
The beginning of the film already illustrated what kind of person this photographer is-for the sake of art, but with such detachment to the human side. The character is really kinda rotten.
There are so many moments in the film where the director was making a point about how pointless being cool is.
The part when David Hemmings was in the antique shop, the old man in there said to him there's nothing in there that he would want-which was really to tell him what a shallow man the photographer is he is not interested in anything remotely close to tradition and history and humanness in old things.
