Video. Photographer Man Ray - A Film by Jean-Paul Fargier 1998
Entretenido pero, a la vez, detallado documental sobre la vida y obra ( y su tiempo) de Man Ray.
Nos presenta su labor como pintor y, sobre todo de fotógrafo.
Sus "inventos" fotográficos como los rayogramas y la solarización.
Su manera de hacer retratos ( recordemos que fue un cotizado retratista durante las primeras décadas del siglo XX,) se plasmaba en
Fotografíar los sueños
Preparar las luces antes de la llegada del modelo.
Unos pocos disparos ( en el film nos habla de una docena frente a los centenares que hace hoy la cámara digital en una sesión de fotos)
Los contrastes.
La simetría
Buscar, si es posible, la utilización de objetos ( máscaras, esculturas, dibujos)
Y, a veces, retoque en determinadas partes de las fotos.
Muchas veces la foto final escogida era un recorte de una foto.

Fun but, hang time, detailed documentary about the life and work (and time) of Man Ray.
He presents his work as a painter and especially photographer.
His photographic "inventions" as rayograms and solarization.
His way of doing portraits (remember that was a portraitist quoted during the first decades of the twentieth century) is embodied in
Photographing dreams
Prepare the lights before the arrival of the model.
A few shots (in the film tells of a dozen compared to the hundreds that makes today's digital camera in a photo shoot)
The contrasts.
symmetry
Search, if possible, the use of objects (masks, sculptures, drawings)
And sometimes, in certain parts of retouching photos.
Many times the final photo chosen was a cutout of a picture.
