Documentary series exploring the history of photography - from daguerreotype to digital, from portraits to photo-journalism, from art to advertising. The three decades from the late 1950s onwards were the golden age of photographic journeys, from the road movies of Robert Frank to the grainy street dramas of William Klein, and marks the moment when colour photography became a serious medium for the artistically-ambitious photographer. Includes interviews with Klein, Robert Adams, Joel Sternfeld.
