Weegee, Cinema, and Beyond
What can a photographer do on a movie set? Beginning with the photographer Weegee's invitation from director Stanley Kubrick to shoot the making of the film Dr. Strangelove, ICP's Creative Director David Campany discusses the rich and overlooked history of independently-minded photographers gaining access to film studios and movie productions. From Margaret Bourke-White, Edward Weston, and Diane Arbus, to William Eggleston, Saul Leiter, and Garry Winogrand, when photographers are free to respond as they wish, what they often make are documents that question or contemplate the nature of cinematic artifice.
