What flows between photography and documentary cinema is both wide and narrow. While wondering about the distance between the two bluffs, I thought I\u2019d pluck a few remarkable examples of incredible cinematography from documentary film that have (in some small way) showed me how (and why!) to make photographs with a still camera.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nwriteFlash({\"allowFullScreen\":\"true\",\"allowscriptaccess\":\"always\",\"src\":\"http:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/v\/aJmUxcgm83Y&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0\",\"width\":\"480\",\"height\":\"385\"});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><span class=\"photo_copyright\">From <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ulrich_Seidl\">Ulrich Seidel<\/a>\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0114669\/\">Animal Love<\/a>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Nearly every shot in Ulrich Seidel\u2019s \u201cAnimal Love\u201d resonates with popular themes, echoes (and familiar redundancies) of contemporary photography. Rather than just quoting compositions or photographers, Seidel is forging something new, an entirely fresh, intimate view. Steady and unshaking, Seidel\u2019s camera is a kind of surveillance mirror.

Are you as surprised as I am by how evocative this content is as a <em>moving picture<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p>Photography will always be the nimble welterweight when compared to cinema\u2019s brute strength (a left to your ear and a right to your eye) but when viewing a clip like the one above, I wonder about all the atmosphere that might be missing in a still photographic portrait, and I wonder how video portraits (like these, shot well before HD and the SLR-video boom) might be the lightning that makes the pixels of our screened-in world flicker a bit more brightly. All it takes now is a Canon 7D, right?<\/p>\n<p>There are simple lessons I\u2019ve learned from (docu)cinematography, too. Issues of focus, detail, and attention. Rewatching the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Albert_and_David_Maysles\">Maysles<\/a>&#8216; (each and any of their films astound) it\u2019s shot-after-amazing-shot. I know there was quite a team of camera operators at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Altamont_Free_Concert\">Altamont<\/a> that day, but check out this gem of focus, in which the main subject (Mick) inhabits the blurry foreground which brings a hairy guy\u2019s trip into shocking clarity.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nwriteFlash({\"allowFullScreen\":\"true\",\"allowscriptaccess\":\"always\",\"src\":\"http:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/v\/SrRh5Smg8Yk&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0\",\"width\":\"480\",\"height\":\"385\"});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><span class=\"photo_copyright\">From the Maysles\u2019 \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gimme_Shelter_%28documentary%29\">Gimme  Shelter<\/a>\u201d<br \/><\/span><br \/>In this sequence and the one following, the Maysles show the power of staying-with-their-subject, and through the simple act of framing and changing focus, they create a complex narrative that becomes a metaphor for the demise of the 60s, at the exact moment the 60s is dissolving into chaos.<\/p>\n<p>Below, dancing-man dances while fights break out (and Meredith Hunter is murdered), while hippie kids express displeasure (though still grooving and flirting with dancing-man\u2019s tuneful charisma) as dancing-man keeps valiantly and vainly shimmying-in-the-face of the end of hippie idealism.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nwriteFlash({\"allowFullScreen\":\"true\",\"allowscriptaccess\":\"always\",\"src\":\"http:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/v\/_S5N3wlQJeE&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0\",\"width\":\"480\",\"height\":\"385\"});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><span class=\"photo_copyright\">From the Maysles\u2019 \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gimme_Shelter_%28documentary%29\">Gimme   Shelter<\/a>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to believe that the above is one-take, one-camera, real life as it happened.

Even with the lightweight gear the Maysles\u2019 employed, there\u2019s a profound touch in how they choose to linger on Charlie Watts here, following the shot through to its logical end. It\u2019s a skilled fearlessness. It\u2019s the knowing hand of someone who intuits there\u2019s something better in the next half-second, and the half-second after that, and if they stay with the situation long enough, everything will resolve perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the shot broaches \u201chow long can you point a camera at someone who\u2019s conscious of being filmed or photographed, and to what benefit is it to linger?\u201d For the Maysles, lingering on Watts yields an unexpected gift; the listless drummer does a narcoleptic triple-take and turns just at the end of the song to cue the filmmakers to register Jagger\u2019s reaction, which arrives perfectly on-target, ring(leader) and all.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nwriteFlash({\"allowFullScreen\":\"true\",\"allowscriptaccess\":\"always\",\"src\":\"http:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/v\/K53c11jGujw&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0\",\"width\":\"480\",\"height\":\"385\"});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><span class=\"photo_copyright\">From the Maysles\u2019 \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gimme_Shelter_%28documentary%29\">Gimme   Shelter<\/a>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Another great (early) example of following a story as it unfolds around you is the iconic view from Robert Drew\u2019s \u201cPrimary\u201d, where the cameraman follows Senator John F. Kennedy into a hall to give a speech. It was historically important because cameramen had never worked with portable gear that could be carried by a single operator. It\u2019s also the first instance of the \u201cfollow-the-man-backstage\u201d docu-cliche, which would become famous thanks to D.A. Pennebaker following Bob Dylan through the maze beneath Royal Albert Hall, which was then Spinal Tap-a-fied into the mainstream.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nwriteFlash({\"allowFullScreen\":\"true\",\"allowscriptaccess\":\"always\",\"src\":\"http:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/v\/NazMCibU9H4&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0\",\"width\":\"480\",\"height\":\"385\"});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><span class=\"photo_copyright\">From <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Robert_Drew\">Robert Drew<\/a>\u2019s  \u201cPrimary\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I wanted to include a few quick looks at Errol Morris\u2019 iconic \u201cGates of Heaven\u201d, which has otherworldly portrait sequences in which the documentary\u2019s protagonists talk to an off-camera Morris about the pet cemetery business. Revealingly, Morris explained that the locations of these interviews were set-dressed. It\u2019s fascinating that early on, Morris, like Herzog (and later, Seidel) realised that the \u201ctruth\u201d of their documentaries could be enhanced by a little directorial control. A bit of background, maybe a costume or two. Like still photographers, they knew that to sell the emotional core of their film, sometimes they needed to slide away from strict \u201cplay-it-as-it-lies\u201d documentary practice.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"4522539956_c228971697\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/4522539956_c228971697.jpg?resize=500%2C383&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"383\" width=\"500\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"4522539826_7e2811e3c1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/4522539826_7e2811e3c1.jpg?resize=500%2C381&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"381\" width=\"500\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"4522539686_e618265ffc\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/4522539686_e618265ffc.jpg?resize=500%2C380&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"380\" width=\"500\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are Sothian and Sultanian treasures here and beyond. I\u2019m not claiming these filmmakers influenced photography, but it\u2019s clear that they\u2019ve been wrestling with many of the same concerns as still photographers for the last 40 years.<\/p>\n<p>More so than marveling at the technical proficiency (or occasional fictional leniency) of these documentarians, films like these made me believe in the power of photographing the unglossed world. At its best, documentary filmmaking reminds us that photographic storytelling needn\u2019t be fictional, computer-generated, or 3D, even. The best shots, both cinematically, and photographically, are all around us, always. We just need to find a way to see them through.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Michael David Murphy<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div>Michael David Murphy charts the influences on his photographic progress from seminal documentaries.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2337,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 -
