Capturing the People’s Princess: Tim Rooke, the photographer responsible for some of the most iconic images of Princess Diana, shared some of his fondest memories and favorite photographs of the late royal who would have turned 60 this month. “I always liked when I captured her in her true light—smiling, helping people, or dressed in an amazing outfit. However, the photos where she was always at her most natural were on tour,” he tells Town and Country.
Getting their due: A blockbuster exhibit of 120 women artists working in the 20th century has opened at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. It includes well-known Western photographers such as Dorothea Lange and Claude Cahun, but features under-recognized, but influential, artists from other parts of the world. ARTnews profiled five of them, saying the photographs of one, Mexico’s Lola Álvarez Bravo, “are not simply documents, but something more—expressive renderings of people and the places they inhabit, filled with dramatic shadows and sharp diagonals that jut across her images.”
Charged with attacking journalists: The FBI has begun arresting people who attacked journalists and smashed the equipment of photographers documenting the insurrectionists’ invasion of Congress on January 6. At least five people have been apprehended and charged in the past week in the attacks on journalists who documented the violence on the Capitol grounds, the Washington Post reports.
From moving pictures to stills: The cinematographer behind The Shawshank Redemption, Fargo, and Skyfall has 50 years of photos to share. Roger Deakins has announced a photo book that includes time documenting rural England, vacations, and movie sets in Berlin, Budapest, and New Mexico, Vanity Fair reports. Deakins received Oscars for 1917 and Blade Runner 2049.
