Videos from Netflix Here are the videos I found available from Netflix in a quick search. You are only assigned to see a minimum of one film on photography or a photographer. If that is not possible, I will give you an alternative assignment. The videos are not on the exam – only the reading and the lectures are on the exam. The videos are one of the many ways your might experience the history of photography. Everyone’s experience will be unique and this journey through this magical history will be documented in your portfolio. Enjoy the adventure!
