Raymond Depardon: Photographer and Filmmaker is a comprehensive monograph published on the occasion of a major retrospective in Rotterdam. The book explores Depardon’s singular position as both a master photojournalist and a renowned documentary filmmaker. It traces his career from his early days at the Gamma and Magnum agencies to his intimate, large-format landscapes. Through a rich selection of images and critical essays by Frits Gierstberg and Nico de Klerk, the volume examines Depardon’s unique “subjective” approach to reporting, where the presence of the author is as important as the events being documented.
