Tyrone Lebon's spectacular, moving documentary about photographers

Hardly anyone’s been on an uphill-climb as fast as Tyrone Lebon. One day he plopped into our lives with his photographs and films, and then the next minute he’s everywhere – shooting people all over the world and being talked about by countless magazines and websites. Just to reassure us that he’s no flash in the pan he’s just created this fantastic, informed collage of a film.

Entitled Reely and Truly, the half hour documentary overlays interviews, clips, nuggets of wisdom and head shots of some of the world’s most exciting photographers of all ages. What’s so fantastic about this highly creative effort is how much it truly makes you want to stop what you’re doing and go and be a photographer yourself. Tyrone’s captured the true essence of why these people do this: they love it, and they’re totally addicted to it.
