Lockdown films for the photographer, any suggestions?

[Andrew-Bede Allsop]

During the lockdown I am thoroughly enjoying myself watching films about photography and photographers on Youtube and Vimeo, as well as downloading from other sites. The major benefit is, of course, that I am learning a lot! So, how about folk recommending such videos and films? I will start off with two I have particularly enjoyed (not in any particular order):

1) The Salt of the Earth. A beautiful film about the great Sebastião Salgado. I downloaded it from iTunes but also available elsewhere.
2) Canon - Sir Don McCullin In Kolkata. ( https://vimeo.com/242906778) Although a Canon sponsored film this really is a fascinating insight into the way the master that the master Don McCullin works.
3) The Many Lives of William Klein ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnN9LMvjM7Y). A most interesting film on the influential Klein and his different areas of interest.

Looking forward to your recommendations.

For Nightscape photography you might try Richard Tatti, based in the Central Victorian town of Bendigo in Australia.

Thank you for this post- I needed to get lost in a bit of history about photography- I went to Amazon and clicked on this ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B00NF1JRQY/ref=atv_dp_b07_det_c_UTPsmN_1_9 )- about Jini Dellaccio. I never had heard of her but am very inspired by here approach that she had employed over her life and career.
