Film Description:
This short documentary accompanies the photographer Sebastian Philipp on a journey of discovery through the 19th Arrondissement of Paris. The film provides touching insights into the working methods and thought processes of the self-taught photographer who turned his passion into a profession. Between his wanderings through Paris, Philipp tells of his reportage work in Vienna and his travels to Lebanon and South Sudan. He speaks of his approach to reportage photography and the photos taken during the course of these projects.
“The Decisive Moment” portrays the person behind the camera: Why did he become a photographer? How did he train himself? How do his views on people influence his work? What does it mean for him as a photographer to be able to pause the world for a decisive moment – and why is he more interested in happiness than drama in photography?
