There have been a couple of biographical films recently about photographers.

The first is Annie Leibovitz: Life Through a Lens. It was released in the US in 2007 but I didn’t manage to see it in Japan until it was released on DVD a few months ago. I found it interesting especially the behind the scenes stories of working with various publications and the evolution from journalistic fly on the wall images to high fashion.

The second movie Visual Acoustics is about the architectural photographer Julius Shulman.
You can see the trailer for the movie here. It was released at cinemas in the US last Friday (October 9th), so it may be a couple of years before I get to watch it. Something to look forward to!
