I just got through watching "War Photographer." In one word, it is stunning. I would be interested to read about others' favourite documentaries on photography.

Well-known
Thats a great one.
There is one about Ron Haviv that is just as good, but I can't remember the name right now. I have never seen it for sale unfortunately. I managed to record it off the tv on my dvr.
What else. There is Naked Planet I think it's called about Spencer Tunick, and there is one on HCB as well that is good, but annoyingly dubbed. Why they couldn't just leave the French and put subtitles I don't understand!
EDIT.. I was just looking at the DOC channel and it is called Ron Haviv: Freelance in a World at Risk. It was on this morning about 4am.
War Photographer is going to be on at 8pm tonight for anyone interested. http://www.documentarychannel.com/schedule/

Hi Marc,
my favorite is "Buena Vista Social Club", if that counts as a documentary.
Best,
Roland.
PS: how is the new lens ?

Shooter of Film...
Not too sure where I saw it but it was a documentary on "Gordon Parks".

The Nachtway doco was fantastic . Keeping with the theme, Robert Capa in Love and War.
And an Australian/British co-production - Frank Hurley: The Man Who Made History.
Not a doco as such but still interesting. Interview with Tim Page, noted Vietnam War photographer, which screened on the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Channel) in 2005. You can read a transcript here - http://www.abc.net.au/talkingheads/txt/s1347417.htm

"Die Story: Schusswechsel" is one of my favorite documentaries.

You can download it (I found an emule link) but I guess it is illegal in most parts of the world. There is no english version that I know of. 🙁

A documentry on William Eggleston was on the Sundance channel a couple of months ago that was good. He got ran out of a drug store for photographing that was funny. Also one on Helmut Newton the fashion photographer. My wife got me a 2 tape set called: The Adventure of Photography that i'm watching parts of now. Just got finished with war photographers. The next segment is on portraitists.

Since you are looking for films that document various aspects of photography, I would suggest: Born Into Brothels.
