In 1975, the French photographer Brigitte Lacombe, twenty-five at the time, was sent by ELLE magazine to cover the Cannes film festival, where she took several portraits of actors and directors, they would soon invite Lacombe and her camera on their film sets. This was the beginning of an important career in collaboration with the leading figures in the world of cinema, theatre, music and politics.
For years Lacombe has worked with American director Martin Scorsese. She served as his unit still photographer on several of his films, including Shutter Island, Gangs of New York and The Aviator. For the first time in Germany, an exhibition of Lacombe’s photographs for Scorsese, On Set With Scorsese – Brigitte Lacombe, will be on display at the Deutsche Film- und Fernsehakademie in Berlin (DFFB).
