I was able to find a copy of the reprint a few months ago through ABE, so there might be other copies lurking around.
Merci, thank you. I've started looking for a copy of this book, it might be difficult to find. From what I can tell, the original publication contained eight serigraphs, missing in the only example found at ABE for the modest sum of 191.84$ plus shipping to France. It looks like an extraordinary item, and the missing serigraphs would almost have made it worth the price.
It was republished in 1999, I'll try and track down a copy of that.
How about the Bang Bang Club?
I thought about this when I originally posted the topic, but couldn't really think of any...I prefer documentaries/documentary-type for this reason, where we can really hear the artist's thoughts or learn about their process, for example:Daniela, as you started this thread and as you hinted at a bad depiction of photgraphers in movies:
Have you watched a ficticious movie where a photographer is depicted realistically?
Finally finished seeing it. In terms of depiction of a man behind the camera, it doesn't do much to counter stereotypes LOL Still, good movie!peeping tom is pretty good, but he's a FILM maker not a photographer..
Blow-up comes to mind. Not that it is without clichés but it is a good film.
["Blow Up"] is still the most realistic...best depiction of the kind of studio and darkroom...and relations with women that many, many photographers have had...or aspired to for a generation. Was motivational, too.
It was (maybe still is) realistic concerning a certain type of fashion photographer. There are quite few that were known for their relationships with models, lifestyle etc. Probably none of them helped solve a crime though. Unless you count Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window.Depends on what you consider realistic.
Maybe there were/are such photographers. I did not not yet met one.
Or, what share do these have at "the photographers"? And the latter is what to my understanding this thread is about.
That is why I chose as realistic a complete different film.
What about "Blow Up"?Probably none of them helped solve a crime though
That's what I was referring to. Sorry if it wasn't clear.What about "Blow Up"?
Mid-80’s “No Small Affair” Jon Cryer as underage photographer falls for singer Demi Moore. Teen angst mostly from him and a decent cover of “My Funny Valentine” . Photography used primarily as a setup device to get the story (such as it is) started. I give it two f/stops.
