As a British Combat Photographer, it makes me sad that I can’t watch this in the UK.

I can vouch for the above recommendation for ‘Bang Bang Club’ too. Very good film.

I stumbled across ‘The Bang Bang Club’ a few weeks ago while channel surfing on a Saturday. The name struck me as odd and when I read the description, I was all over it. Those guys were nuts. Even though the way Apartheid violence was portrayed pretty graphically, I can’t imagine what it would have been like to witness it a few feet away through the lens of a camera. I thought it was pretty well made.

Saw this a few days ago. You really can see his evolution as a photographer and a man. Having seen all movies suggested in this thread, “Shooting Robert King” is my favorite, with “The Devil Came on Horseback” a close second.

Or if you are into graphic novels, Matty Roth in DMZ shoots Nikon! (or did once or twice)

If this movie looks interesting to you make sure you check out "War Photographer" and "The Devil Came on Horseback." Both great movies on documentary shooters.Blog Facebook Twitter

Literally just watched this and now it’s on fstoppers. It was definitely a good documentary. I am really interested in war photography myself and once I can figure out how to get to overseas I want to do the same thing. I think it is such a unique type of photography and the emotion you can capture in your images would be unlike anything else.
