Catching Lightning with Photography The history of photographing lightning really starts with the history of photography. The invention of photography was announced in 1839 in Paris; the photograph that was produced was called the Daguerreotype, named after Louis Daguerre. It was several years later before the first lightning photograph was made, and several decades would pass before there was the first successful efforts to photograph lightning for the purpose of science.
Conceptual Photography
Dorothea Lange: Grab A Hunk Of Lightning More than four decades of 20th-century America are filtered through Lange's life and lens -- her creations and achievements, her tragedies and losses. Known for her powerful images from the Great Depression, her haunting "Migrant Mother" remains emblematic of that period. In 1936, when photographs of the poverty-stricken mother of seven, stranded in a camp in California, were published, a national awareness began. As America matured into a world power, Lange continued to bear witness -- mass migration, increasing urbanization and the cost of war at home -- bringing subjects alive, transmitting raw emotions and capturing the human condition. This film is made by Dyanna Taylor, Lange's granddaughter, who began her artistic vision, literally, at Lange's feet.

Focus Iran In this Islamic Republic, a creative and daring young photographic scene is committed to giving its country a new image to the world. The film presents us with a unique artistic scene in the world—always using humor and metaphor in their work to bypass censorship. This movie sheds a new light on Iran, a complex country torn between tradition and modernity—a country in which these photographers have chosen to stay, out of passion and pride, despite the difficulties to work and live here. The photographers Solmaz Daryani, Gohar Dashti, Shadi Ghadirian, Abbas Kowsari, Tahmineh Monzavi, and Newsha Tavakolian are the main actors of the film. Anahita Ghabaian, one of the most famous photo gallery directors of Iran, is a thread of the film. We follow the photographers on their shootings, in their studios, and on different locations. The film is articulated around their narrative and personal analysis of their ventures, giving us a new insight of this country and its history. Focus Iran is a journey from Teheran to Quashan, and up to Lake Urmia, far northwest from Iran, close to the Azerbaijan frontier.

Designed for people at all levels, these 24 episodes are an engaging guide to how photographs work and how to make them work better for you.
Fundamentals of Photography II Great photography goes beyond knowing about how lenses and f-stops work. It's about creative problem solving under real-world conditions. Taking great photographs means knowing how to choose the right tool or apply the right technique to capture your subject in the best possible way. Photographers who wish to excel--professional and recreational alike--need to have a solid foundation of technical skills and the ability to apply that knowledge intuitively to a wide range of scenarios and subjects.
Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures In 1989, on the floor of Congress, Senator Jesse Helms implored America to "Look at the pictures," while denouncing the controversial art of Robert Mapplethorpe, whose photographs pushed social boundaries with their frank depictions of nudity, sexuality and fetishism - and ignited a culture war that rages to this day. More than 25 years later, the HBO Documentary Films presentation MAPPLETHORPE: LOOK AT THE PICTURES does just that, taking an unflinching, unprecedented look at Mapplethorpe's most provocative work.

SHOULDER THE LION features three people; a photographer who becomes blind, a painter/sculptor (the real-life inspiration for "Million Dollar Baby") who loses half her brain in a boxing match, and a musician losing his hearing to tinnitus. Using art to illustrate change, this film explores how the human spirit prevails in the face of tragedy and what new meanings emerge that otherwise would not have been found if not for their disability.
