The Real Weegee
A 1993 documentary on Weegee, the famous New York photographer. Weegee's
specialty was to be on the scene of often gruesome crime scenes at the
same time as the police -- achieved by installing a police radio in his
car. His photographs of New York street life in the 1940s and 50s would assure him a place in history even without the crime scenes. Unfortunately I don't have this in better quality, but I thought it should be online nonetheless.
DUFFY: The Man Who Shot the Sixties
Duffy together with David Bailey and Terence Donovan is recognized as
one of the innovators of "documentary" fashion photography, a style
which revolutionized fashion imagery and furthermore the fashion
industry. So influential were their images that in 1962 the Sunday Times
dubbed Duffy, Bailey & Donovan the "Terrible Trio" and Norman
Parkinson further added to their notoriety by naming them "The Black
Trinity". Together they dominated the London photographic scene,
constantly pushing each other to new heights. Even socially they would
spend many hours together talking, living and breathing photography. In
the 1970s DUFFY suddenly disappeared from view and burned all his
negatives. Filmed on the eve of the first-ever exhibition of his work,
Duffy agrees to talk about his life, his work and why he made it all go
up in flames.
