David Hurn - First Cameras, First Shots

More on Documentally.com/backchannel
While interviewing David Hurn in audio I decided to grab a few mins of video shot on my phone.

What an amazing venture & life.

That's a really nice video of David Hurn talking through his cameras and explaining some of the photographs he took whilst editing on screen. I was lucky enough to have met and took his portrait a couple of times and he was really a really nice chap. I really loved his work from the 60's and 70's and is certainly in my top 10 of all time favourite photographers whose work I really admire.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out Mark!

I still have my father's Kodak Retina IIa. Unfortunately my eyesight and the viewfinder aren't compatible anymore.

Is he still alive today?

The photograph at 4:05 is superb.

Very nice on indeed! But I must say, the one of the soldier at 3.02 was completely stunning

Amazing little video. This is going straight to my "exceptional" folder because you shot it on AN iPhone (6s Plus, I'm guessing because the video is so smooth. (6s Plus is the only iPhone with both optical AND digital image stabilization) Now I'm wondering about your sound. Did you just get lucky in that room, or were you using something like the Rode VideoMic Me? If that's just the audio from the iPhone... you must be living right. Again, this is a great video. I love this guy, and his images are just fabulous. Those cameras are priceless collectors items, and very rarely do we get to see them or the images that produce. Thanks, again. (subscribed, and liked, obviously) :-)

+Craig Whipps I think this was just the internal mic. And it's the 6s not the plus. :)

+Documentally Again, the image quality is great, and the sound is, too. (Intimate) I told a friend about this video and I'm here to get the link to send to her. Great work. And thanks again for introducing me to David Hurn. What an eye! :-)
