Movie Reviews of The Photographers Series: Keith Carter

Movie Review: A fine insight into the mind of a master
Summary: 5 Stars

I agree with the other reviewers that this video gives you a glimpse inside the head of a great photographer.

As well as the main program it also has a run through of Carter's books with his own narration guiding you through. There's also a section on toning with Keith where you get into his darkroom and watch him at work. If you are interested in tea toning this alone will make it worth buying.

Good video, and a good value - about 2 hours in total.

Summary of The Photographers Series: Keith Carter

Internationally-exhibited photographer Keith Carter is the first subject in a new DVD documentary series that presents a fully comprehensive study of the today's most influential photographers. Produced by Anthropy Arts, The Photographers Series: Keith Carter starts with an intimate hour long documentary that takes the viewer through Carter's career, giving an in-depth look at his techniques and philosophy, and features special guest interviews, including museum curator Anne Wilkes Tucker and Academy Award winning writer, Horton Foote.

Also included on this DVD is an hour long Photo Commentary where Carter discusses the stories behind many of his most beloved photographs. Plus, there's a 20-minute Bonus Feature in which Mr. Carter demonstrates the techniques he uses to tone his photographs.

Carter, who was born in Madison, Wisconsin in 1948, has lived in Beaumont, TX since early his childhood. After taking over his mother's portrait business in the early 80's, Carter also began producing more personal images of small Texas towns, landscapes, portraits, still-lifes, and interiors, using black and white film rather than the color his commercial work often demanded. These images have resulted in ten books and hundreds of exhibitions. While retired from commercial portraiture, he teaches art photography and maintains an exhausting schedule of making images and conducting workshops and lectures around the world.
