Wes Anderson’s favorite on-set still photographer James Hamilton with 99 Records founder Ed Bahlman and Anne-Katrin Titze on his Village Works exhibition: “They have a display of eight of my photographs, good size prints, including Lou Reed and John Cale and Pattie Smith and Tom Verlaine and Prince and Debbie Harry.”
In the first instalment with photojournalist James Hamilton, Wes Anderson’s favourite on-set still photographer (James is also the voice of Mole in Fantastic Mr. Fox and makes an appearance in The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou), we start out discussing Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window, Grace Kelly’s Mark Cross bag, the Albert Hotel, Harper’s Bazaar, and everything else that James Stewart’s Lb Jeffries eerily has in common with the subject of Dw Young’s surprisingly candid Uncropped (a highlight and centerpiece selection of the 14th edition of Doc NYC).

Even if you don’t know James Hamilton’s name, you probably recognize some of his images. Over a career that has spanned seven decades and seen his work published in Harper’s Bazaar, The New York Observer, New York Magazine and The Village Voice, Hamilton has photographed music and film superstars, legendary directors, notorious criminals and powerful politicians, as well as wars, famines and revolutions.
Hamilton is also humble to a fault, making him a perfect focal subject for D.W. Young’s new documentary Uncropped. Ostensibly a biography of and tribute to Hamilton’s life and work, Uncropped is most interesting when it uses its subject as a bit of a Trojan horse. Yes, Uncropped achieves its goal of raising Hamilton’s profile and celebrating the genius within his work. But that’s probably only the level on which it’s third or fourth most successful — behind serving as...
