Life magazine

A couple of people have reminded me to point out the BBC TV programme about Life Magazine, with Rankin meeting many of the surviving photographers who worked for the iconic magazine.
For HNC it is particularly useful, as I've asked them to produce a picture story or reportage on 'a day of work or leisure'. This is fairly typical Life magazine territory, and publications like Life in America, and Picture Post in Britain specialised in long photo essays that told the story of people's lives.


The BBC programme, 'America in Pictures: the Story of Life Magazine' is here:

And there is also a Life website:

And on the subject of reportage style photography, there are some good picture essays on a travel theme at the stock library, http://www.solomango.com/
