Default Movies about photographers/photography?
Many of us must know War Photographer, a great movie about James Nachtwey.

Are there other movies which can be related to photography or photographers?

I saw that one movie about James Nachtwey...fascinating. What I remember was his methodical approach to photography; [almost] always using a light meter before taking the shot. More importantly, I marveled how easily he was able to move around in scenes where you'd think a person with a camera would stick out like a sore thumb. Good stuff.

I found there are two movies named Paparazzi, by Jacques Rozier 1964 and by Alan Berbérian 1998. I haven't seen these. Any comments by others members?

This film I liked. It was Cliff Eastwood who both directed and acted in the main role.

thanks. If I remember correctly the ending kinda sucked.. I kind of am a sucker for the happy endings.. you know, giant swell of music lovers kissing after a long seperation.. finally discovering their soul mate, living happily ever after.. not a big fan of realistic or bittersweet endings to movies..

Salvador is a good movie as well, but it's a long time I've seen it. Can't see if that is Canon James Woods is holding ... and can't remeber that either

What is the link to photography in In the Line of Fire?

There was a series of docos on recently in Oz, one was on Hansel Mieth, another on James Nachtwey. Another cool one was "Girl in the Mirror" - on Carrol Jerrems.
