Blow-Up (1966)

The 1966 classic about a fashion photographer in mod London, whose world is bounded by shoots, models, pop music and parties. Its opening stretch is the most vivid picture on film of how a fashion photograph was made in the Swinging Sixties. Be warned that it turns into a mystery about something he may have caught on camera, and fashion gives way to ideas about images and truth. Choose it for the photographer's side of the industry and for a film that still looks impossibly stylish.
