What about “Visions of Light”. It’s a documentary about the history of Cinematography… It’s Ammazing!

war photography takes a lot of courage and passion to pursue. Those who are able to walk that path are very admirable.

I was always in awe of Blow Up when I was kid, with David Hemmings’ character driving rolls royce cabriolet in swinging london wearing pointed shoes and white jeans… fantastic (and guess what, I took some pictures in Maryon Park where the murder took place but they got not much keen reception although the park looks much the same as it did then). However, in 1971 in Designated Victim Stefano who dabbles as businessman is photographer. And in more recent horror it is most notably Shutter and Abnormal Beauty that tackle photographer’s responsibility and guilt. (I used to be great admirer of Helmut Newton.)

The Genius of Photography is an amazing BBC 6 part series documenting the history of photography. The series starts with the origins and ends with contemporary/digital art photography. Extremely well done and compelling, this series is only available for purchase in the UK. Highly recommended!

Shadow of the House is a very good documentary about Abelardo Morell. You can buy the DVD direct from the woman who made it.
