Easy with digital.
I enjoyed the photographer in the original The Omen. As a result of this movie, I now blame all my light leaks on Satan.
I just wish I could take those great photos in dark environments with hand-held super-telephoto lenses like the Private Eyes in the movies.
Yes, but that means you do have to be in league with SatanEasy with digital.
Out of however many there are. Or it could be just f2: not a lot of depth of focus. At any rate, not a movie to either avoid or go out of your way to see.two f/stops out of how many?!

Not solving a crime, but who can forget Greg Brady in the Brady Bunch showing that his high school team was robbed of a win? He was photographing a cheerleader (the sex part of photogs) and in the back ground of a enlarged photo was the wide receiver who was clearly out of bounds in the blown up photo. A true milestone in the history of important photography.I was thinking that "Blow Up" was about solving a crime!
I just watched "Capote" (2005) with the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman. There is a scene where Richard Avedon comes to photograph the killers. Avedon is always rendered out-of-focus, but his camera is tack sharp. A Hasselblad. I don't think Avedon ever used a Hasselblad until much later in his career, he used Rolleiflex for medium format. Plus, when the photos are shown in the movie, they are full-frame with rebate but not square--mostly vertical, although they do have the Hasselblad notches on the edge of the rebate. I doubt even if he were to use a Hasselblad, he would be using a 6x4.5 back and turning the camera to the awkward position needed to shoot verticals. Bad marks for the Art Director and possibly even the Director for that sequence. A little bit of research turns up that Avedon did shoot the killers with a Rolleiflex 2.8E and the photos, square format, were published in LIFE magazine, I think. Also, the Hasselblad model featured in the film was not available at the time.

Such things happen in almost every film where analog photo or movie cameras appear. They are doing it wrong nearly all the time.
And of course the guy with the camera is bad and dangerous. There is a movie with Tom Hanks, maybe 10 years old, taking place in the 20s or 30s and Hanks either is a mafia-guy or a good guy - cannot remember - anyway he is hunted by a sociopathic killer. And the killer does use a camera to take a picture of his victims, after he shot them but before they die. The sociopathic killer wants to record the last breath of his victims.
He is using a Graflex i think and after he shot bullets into his victims he sets up the Graflex on a tripod and focuses on the groundglass. You see several times the blurred image on the groundglass getting sharper - and then click - he fires the shutter without putting a film holder onto the camera. He never has plate- or rollfilm-holders at hand, the groundglass always still is on the camera when he "takes" the picture.
Later in the movie he has the print in his hands, but he never puts film into his Graflex.

Beautifully filmed, a treat for the eyes...but a grim movie.

Hooray For Hollywood..!!!
FINALLY........the "good guy" Tom Hanks........ lets his guard down and gets killed by the "bad guy" Jude Law.
Yeah, it was VERY Grim.
Hanks poor kid..............
Thank you, then this movie is older than i did remember - and it`s even more of a "scandal" Jude Law doesn`t put film in his Graflex. In 2002 this movie surely was shot on analog film - and the entire camera crew (and the director!) shooting this movie must have known that with an analog camera you only can get a picture if you put film into the camera - what Jude Law never does ( $%&$&/%&(/%"$§%&%/&/(&TR%&/%&/$&%/$%&§$&$%&/!!!!!!!).
- Re-adjusting my tie and my hairdo -
Fortunately Tom Hanks poor kid never will be shocked by a picture of his father in last breath - because Jude Law never puts film into his Graflex ( &/%&$%&"§$%&$§%(/&/$%$§%%§$&$§&/%&(%&$%!!!!!!! )...
