What movies have you guys seen that were about photographers, or photography in general?
Not just documental. I want to watch some and looking for recommendations.

Minamata - I have seen it, very good.
Under Fire looks good, haven't seen it.

Rear Window
Salvador

There was that robin williams film. Not sure if it counts since he was the photo developer not a photographer.

Blow Up was an iconic period piece of Swinging Lodon psychedelia ....
"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

There is an awesome short sequence of the Yardbirds at their peak, if you are into 60s music.

The main character is a photographer, it doesn't come up too much, but he takes creepy pics on the subway for an art show or something. The end of the movie is so ****ed I don't blame you forgetting that entire subplot.

For Shutter I only ever seen the Thai one, but there's an American remake as well.
