BRIAN DUFFY: THE MAN WHO SHOT THE SIXTIES

THE MAN WHO SHOT THE SIXTIES from CHRIS DUFFY on Vimeo.

The Man Who Shot the Sixties is a tribute to Brian Duffy, who passed away in May of 2010.  Duffy was considered by many to be one of the greatest photographers of his generation.  Along with David Bailey and Terence Donovan, the trio became known as "The Black Trinity". Duffy played a significant role in defining the image of the 1960's, and even became as famous as the stars that he photographed.  In the 1970's he suddenly disappeared from view and burned all his archives of negatives.

This documentary was filmed on the eve of the first-ever exhibition of his work.  In the documentary, Duffy agrees to talk about his life, his work, and why he made it all go up in flames.
