BBC4 focuses in on photography season
1 NOVEMBER, 2016 | BY MIRANDA BLAZEBY

BBC4 is to take a snapshot of British photography over the years with a season of programming celebrating the art.

The digital broadcaster has commissioned five documentaries including Smile! The Nation’s Family Album, a 1 x 60-minute special produced by BBC Studios, which will tell the story of family life in Britain from the 1950s to the modern day.

Wavelength Films will produce The Man Who Shot Tutankhamun (w/t), a 1 x 60-minute doc that will follow the story of Harry Burton, the official photographer for Howard Carter’s Tutankhamun excavation during the 1920s.

BBC archives will be utilised to reveal the working practices, lives and opinions of some of the 20th century’s most distinguished photographers in Photographers at the BBC (w/t), 1 x 60-minute film produced by BBC Studios.

BBC Studios will also produce the one-hour special What Do Artists Do All Day: Dougie Wallace, which will examine a collection of Wallace’s images capturing the lives of inhabitants and visitors to Knightsbridge and Chelsea.

Finally, leading photographer and picture editor Eamonn McCabe will explore the story of British photography and the technical and scientific changes that have resulted in some of the most iconic images in the 3 x 60-minute BBC Studios-produced series Britain in Focus: A Photographic History.

BBC4 controller Cassion Harrison said: “Across this season of programming BBC4 will explore photography’s fantastic world with all the channel’s customary expertise and depth, unpacking both its history and relevance in exciting new ways and through the eyes of some of its greatest practitioners.”

There we go.;)
 
Damn it, too slow.
 
Well, I think it makes a nice change from letting the public entertain themselves with televised cookery competitions and 'talent' shows! I hope the viewing figures are good.
 
Interesting programme last week on tv about a British Paparazzi photographer..not much you could learn about photography but more about how you can get a shot that sells to the newspapers and mags.

Funny how people view things differently. I didn't watch it because it just felt like it would be watching a sneaky perv intruding on people's private lives. ;)

Well all your questions would have been answered by the guy (he had the gift of the gab)....but newspapers are to blame on how a photo is interpreted in that sometimes he would stage something innocent with an accomplice and the newspaper would give it a different story.
Which reminds me of when my son went on Ian Botham's Hannibal elephant trip and they were having a drink and sing song in a bar and the Sun reported "Brits smash up a bar"...they got hold of the Sun reporter and asked him "why did he report this crap" and he replied "well I had to send something".
