Photography Documentaries

[Badger8]

Good afternoon Everyone,

As it's wet, windy and horrible outside, I was thinking about a cosy day in. I was thinking about watching some photography videos, but, are there any documentaries that you would recommend? Something to get the juices flowing!!

Any recommendations?

P.s, have you all seen this?

Watched that one recently and enjoyed it. Have also recently watched the Masters of Photography series on Youtube. Was a six part series from the BBC in the 80s.

There is also the Tom Hetherington one from BBC4 currently on iPlayer - haven't watched it yet but have downloaded it.

Also, if you have Sky Arts, there is one that comes up fairly frequently called Close Up: Photographers at work. May be available from On Demand.

Loads on YouTube. Here's one on Geoff Davies, an amateur from Bolton, but regarded as being one of Britains best street / documentary photographers:

One of several Ansel Adams documentaries

One of several Don McCullin documentaries http://youtu.be/iEDwBeLDxFM

The B&H event space on YouTube have some interesting talks too.
