Drawing on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's rich archive, this documentary reveals the working practices, lives and opinions of some of the greatest photographers of the last 60 years.

Drawing on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's rich archive, this documentary reveals the working practices, lives and opinions of some of the greatest photographers since the 1950s. From Norman Parkinson to David Bailey, Eve Arnold to Jane Bown, Henri Cartier-Bresson to Martin Parr, for decades the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ has drawn our attention to the creators of what has become the most ubiquitous, contemporary art form.

Pioneering Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ programmes like Arena, Monitor and Omnibus have given unique insights into the careers of photography's leading practitioners. Through a selection of fascinating clips, this programme brings into focus the key genres - fashion, portraiture, documentary and landscape - and the characters behind the camera who have helped define them.
