Jerry Schatzberg

Jerry Schatzberg's sensitivity to the complexity and mystery of human motivation has made him an eminent portrait photographer, a key figure in the New Hollywood of the 1970s, and one of the most singular voices in American independent cinema. Room 2 focuses on Schatzberg's style and approach as a photographer. For more than 75 years, Schatzberg has been trying to capture a reality that is always on the move, and that naturally led him to cinema. Fundamental aspects of Schatzberg's cinematic style are explored in Room 3 through sections on photographic and cinematic processes, location shooting, sound, and the experience of cinematic time.
