Hasselblad Moments, Janette Beckman

Legendary punk and hip-hop photographer, Janette Beckman, goes in depth into two of her most famous shoots. Creating the first ever album artwork for The Police, Janette relied on the square format of Hasselblad's V system cameras to capture the shot. Later, when shooting the hip-hop group Run-DMC in their hometown of Hollis, Queens, Janette captured the detail of a sunny summer afternoon with medium format film.

I've always loved that Police album cover but I didn't know who shot it. Great film.
