Hey there, I went by a friends place and Closer was on. I remembered I was always curious, who took those images the Julia Robert character exhibits? In the photo studio there are quite a few very good looking portraits on the walls, too. Just in case there's somebody remotely famous behind them..

Maybe the movie's DoP?
Edit: As for the pictures on the wall, here's what Imdb trivia has to say: "The photograph of an elderly couple which appears before Alice is photographed by Anna, and which appears also in Anna's exhibition, is a photograph of British philosophers Peter Geach and G. E. M. Anscombe." I think they're both Wittgenstein scholars, IIRC.

What I found odd about that movie was the format (including rebate) that appears in the character's prints vs. the format she photographed with.
Example: she takes a portrait with her Leica that appears in the exhibition (complete with rebate) in a square format.
If you have the chance to watch it again look for it.

Jamie, thanks! I entirely forgot about imdb-trivia.
This kind of stuff doesn't bother me, it's like with 'Vicky, Christina, Barcelona' and the whole shot on digital but wet printed discussion.. so many more interesting things about that movie.

I think the photo of Anscombe and Geach was one from Steve Pyke's series, 'Philosophers'. I 've watched the movie but it's quite some time now and memory doesn't help.

I thought the funniest part of that movie was how they added an artificial "click" sound whenever she took a shot with the Leica, probably to make it sound more like a "normal" camera

Wow, That's exactly what I was looking for! now I just have to find the book somewhere and I'll be in heaven. I don't know why, but the square-hasselblad-portraiture-obsession started with those Platon images in the New Yorker the other day (despite being vastly different)...

Personally, I thought the part where Clive Owen's character tells Jude Law's crying character that he had sex with his girlfriend afterall was much funnier. But sure, I guess the artificial click was somewhat humorous, too.
