I only finally got to watch it this morning. And I was enthralled with it. For those that aren&#8217;t up on British Photography in the 60&#8242;, this movie is about fashion photography Duffy, courtesy of none other than the BBC. Along with Bailey and Donovan, they made the &#8216;Terrible Trio&#8217;, or &#8220;Black Trinity&#8221;. All three were responsible for a complete change in how fashion was photographed. Gone were the upper class gentlemen in 3 piece suits, replaced by young, hip, dudes. <\/p>\n<p>This documentary begins with Duffy in 2009, shooting for the first time in 20 years. His health is failing with a degenerative lung disease. Having burnt most of his negatives in 1979, it was a chance finding by his son Chris, that led to the creation of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.duffyphotographer.com\/\">Duffy Archive<\/a> and Duffy&#8217;s first ever exhibition. <\/p>\n<p>This movie takes us through his career and right up to the first exhibition. Duffy died last year, but the Archive still works on, producing a book of his works. <\/p>\n<p>I found the movie fascinating and interesting. The photography is refreshing, even though it spawned a whole generation of copycats. David Bailey has a few cameos, mostly being a complete ass, but it&#8217;s obvious that was part of their friendship. At one point Duffy makes the point about being &#8216;competent&#8217; in his work, and that being the height of it. To me, that was definitely a reveal. I find it to be so true. The art follows the craft.   <\/p>\n<p>Take an hour and watch this, it&#8217;s well worth it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-documentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1207\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
