10 Photography Movies Every Photographer Should See
It's no secret that film making and photography go hand in hand. One photo can inspire the tone of a whole scene, while composition, framing and lighting play equal roles in both. As a photographer I find myself constantly acknowledging and commending a good frame when I see one, especially in cinematography. Increasingly often, I find myself constantly searching for films where photography plays a major role, or with and about a photographer as a lead role. While photography movies can captivate and inspire photographers specifically, I think they can also inspire anyone to capture a picturesque moment when they see one.
That being said, I compiled a list of 10 Photography Movies every photographer should see, but it's pretty much what I think everyone should see. And because I know there are plenty more out there, definitely feel free to share some of your own favorite photography films with us.
