Close-Up: Photographers at Work (2007)

Photography is a most intimate visual form of storytelling, and at its best its narrator remains humbly anonymous while simultaneously captivating the viewer. This extraordinary documentary by director Rebecca Dreyfus illuminates both the art and craft of photography equally through a series of probing, revelatory interviews with those that have lived their lives behind the lens. Artistic greats Gregory Crewdson, Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, Albert Maysles, Andrew Moore and Sylvia Plachy reveal how the sometimes arduous process of picture taking can translate our ideals into a form of fervid visual communication both immediate and sublime.
