A man at the cutting edge of fashion, photojournalism and portraiture, photographer to the stars Douglas Kirkland has, with his camera, portrayed over sixty years of pop culture. Famed for his legendary shoots with Hollywood favourites including Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Angelina Jolie and the stars of over 150 motion pictures -- The Sound of Music, Moulin Rouge, Titanic and The Great Gatsby to name a few - Kirkland’s unique style and approach have resulted in hundreds of beautiful, immortal images that still influence the world today, decades after that first fateful click of the camera.
This fascinating documentary portrait, nominated for Best Documentary at the American Documentary Film Festival and the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, takes a closer look at the astonishing career of one the most important photographers of the last century, from his very first assignments at Look magazine in the 50’s to Vanity Fair in the present, with contributing cast including Sharon Stone, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Williams, Baz Luhrmann and Andy Garcia amongst many others.
In 1995, Kirkland received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Motion Pictures Society of Operating Cameramen, and he currently lives and works in Hollywood Hills, CA. Today, his photographs are held in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery in London, the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, and the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., among others.
