Photo documentary recommendations

[Dunn]

Can anyone recommend some documentaries focused around photography or photographers?

I can recommend My Asian Heart (Philip Blenkinsop), War Photographer (James Natchwey) and the Witness series.

Cheers

BBC's The Genius of Photography miniseries is fantastic. Covers the earliest days to modern times.

Imagine, The Many Lives of William Klein, Excellent BBC production.

McCullin, similar to War Photographer, but with a slightly less robotic subject.

Bill Cunningham in New York is an interesting documentary. It's not only photography, but also the fashion world.

As mentioned, Bill Cunningham New York is terrific, as is The Genius of Photography.
