Documentaries of Famous Photographers

This is a growing playlist of documentaries about photography and interviews with photographers that I admire. It includes Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, Alfred Stieglitz, Sally Mann, Walker Evans, Annie Leibovitz, Ansel Adams, and more.

Thank you copyright holders for allowing all these fine works to be on Youtube. Without these videos freely available young people, who where not alive when these films where originally released, could not learn from the masters.

PePe aka Second Hand Clothing

Check out this cool documentary about clothing called Secondhand (Pepe). Its by Hanna Rose Shell and Vanessa Bertozzi.

Secondhand (Pepe) is a 24min tri-lingual documentary about the role of used clothing in diaspora cultures. Filmmakers Shell & Bertozzi weave two narratives into a visual and sonic journey. The historical memoir of a Jewish immigrant rag picker intertwines with the present-day story of â€œpepeâ€ â€“ secondhand clothing that flows from the United States to Haiti. Secondhand (Pepe) animates the materiality of recycled clothes: their secret afterlives and the unspoken connections among people in an era of globalization.
