A National Geographic documentary
 
Photographers: Paul Nicklen & Christina Mittermeier



Paul Nicklen and Cristina Mittermeier are two of the most iconic ocean photographers working today. They also happen to be partners in both their personal and professional lives. Paul grew up with Inuit Eskimos in the Arctic of Canada and worked as a biologist in the Northwest Territories before specializing in photographing polar regions. Born in Mexico City, Cristina started out as a marine biologist, and now works as a writer, conservationist, and photographer, with a focus on the Amazonian women of the Kayapo and wild ocean life. Together, Paul and Cristina aim to raise awareness about endangered species and environments through their art. In this episode, we follow them as they travel by boat to the Bahamas to take on oil drilling and document the recently discovered seagrass beds there.

Fill The Frame, directed by Tim Huynh, follows eight contemporary New York
street photographers and explores why the art inspires them.
 
Tim Huynh - Fill the Frame



Tim Huynh says: "Photography is a vehicle for storytelling; capturing a moment in time yet allowing for endless possibilities of interpretation. Fill The Frame is a feature documentary telling a story not only within the frame of photographs, but of the people behind the camera. This film follows eight esteemed street photographers in New York to get an exclusive look at their work and their own unique journey over the years."

Charlie Waite's talk at the 2018 Meeting of Minds conference in Penrith.
An investigation into the mind of this acclaimed landscape photographer.


Charlie Waite - Behind the Photograph



“Over the last 20 years, I have become more and more intrigued as to what takes place in my mind prior to the decision to make the photograph. It is a complex and very energetic process made up of evaluating, interpreting, analyzing and ultimately decision making.  Through my photography, I have felt privileged and humbled to have experienced so much richness and diversity across the globe. A photograph has no human voice nor music to support it. It just is. At its best, I feel that a still image of the landscape can contain a sense of purity that settles my mind and offers me the opportunity to reflect and wonder at our world.”  - Charlie Waite

The photographs included in ‘Behind the Photograph’ are a collection of images taken by Waite from across the globe.

André Kertész & Edward Steichen

Masters of Photography Film Series
 
Edward Jean Steichen, credited with transforming photography into an art form, was a Luxembourgish American photographer, painter, and curator, renowned as one of the most prolific and influential figures in the history of photography.
André Kertész was a Hungarian-born photographer known for his groundbreaking contributions to photographic composition and the photo essay. In the early years of his career, his then-unorthodox camera angles and style prevented his work from gaining wider recognition. Kertész never felt that he had gained the worldwide recognition he deserved, however today he is considered one of the seminal figures of photojournalism.
