Three weeks ago I began watching the Genius Of Photography on BBC Four. The six part series looks at various influential photographers such as Henri Cartier Bresson, Robert Capa, Richard Billingham, Martin Parr, Dorothea Lange and many more. To date I have found the programme truly inspiring and in particular, week three’s instalment, titled Right Time, Right Place.
Right Time, Right Place questions how good photography is at making sense of what it records? Is 'getting in close' always better than standing back? And just how decisive are the moments that photographers risk their necks to capture?
Right Time, Right Place examines how photographs of D-Day, the Holocaust and Hiroshima raises questions about history as seen through the viewfinder.
