Book reviews

Brandt A Life, the authorised biography by Paul Delany is the prime research manual on Brandt, but we can also suggest the larger picture book, Brandt: The Photography of Bill Brandt, as well as Aperture's recently reprinted Behind The Camera

Films

Films are in short supply. Sadly there just isn't a lot on film. Brandt was a bit of hermit and never really came out of his shell until he was pushed into making a couple of interviews by his wife, Noya just before he died. One is Steven Dwoskin's 'Shadows from Light' which was made in 1983. Please ask Channel 4 in London for a copy from the Luxonline.
