The Photography of George Tatge
DOCUMENTARY • 26 minutes

Taking you on an intimate journey into George’s work, Battistella’s camera follows Tatge as he does the delicate dance of placing his tripod to manufacture a single frame. It’s a portrait and unique peek into a process that George has never or rarely shared.

In 2012 filmmaker David Battistella was awaiting shipment of a brand new 5K digital cinema camera. The first film he wanted to create with this digital marvel needed to be a recognition of celluloid film. He went searching and met with photographer George Tatge who was still producing images with his Deardorf View camera and 5x7 inch sheet film.
