I recently stumbled across the ‘Genius of Photography’ documentary that was originally made and shown on the BBC, whilst browsing on youtube. This excellent six part series tracks the development of photography over the last 170 years and looks at the important images that advanced the art.
If you are interested in the history of photography, as well as seeing the background to some of the most important and iconic photographs over the year then the series is well worth watching.
Above is just the first part of the first episode, to watch the others just click on the video and you’ll be taken to youtube where you’ll see the others in the series.
