"That Click" is a feature-length documentary film directed by Luca Severi that tells the story of Douglas Kirkland's illustrious career as one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. Kirkland, now in his 80s, began his career in the 1950s working as a photojournalist for Look Magazine before moving on to become a staff photographer for Life Magazine.
Over the course of his sixty-year career, Kirkland has photographed some of the most iconic figures of pop culture, from movie stars like Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, and Audrey Hepburn to music legends like Michael Jackson and Beyoncé.
The film takes us on a journey through Kirkland's life and work, from his early days as a photojournalist covering major global events like the Vietnam War and the civil rights movement to his later years as a celebrity portrait photographer shooting the likes of Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and Robert De Niro.
Through intimate interviews with Kirkland himself, as well as his friends and colleagues from throughout his career, we get a glimpse into the mind of a true artist and the techniques and philosophy that made him such a master of his craft.
Ultimately, "That Click" is a celebration of one man's incredible talent and creativity, and a reminder of the power of photography to shape popular culture and capture the essence of the human experience.
