Bruce Davidson and his camera have, over the course of the last 60 years, created imagery which is burned into the American consciousness. From “Brooklyn Gang”, to the civil rights era (“Time of Change”); from Jimmy the clown to the fight for better housing on East 100th Street, Davidson created images that last and came to define not just a style of photography, but a moment in history. Now in his 80s, Davidson still works to capture the world around him with the tool that’s sustained him since he was a child.

Since 1985, the International Center of Photography has recognized outstanding achievements in photography with its prestigious Infinity Awards. The awards ceremony is also ICP’s primary fundraising benefit, with its revenues assisting the center's various programs.

This year MediaStorm produced films for the following winners: Lifetime Achievement: Bruce Davidson; Applied: Alexandra Bell; Art: Samuel Fosso; Artist's Book: Dayanita Singh, Museum Bhavan; Critical Writing and Research: Maurice Berger, Race Stories column for the Lens section of the New York Times; Documentary and Photojournalism: Amber Bracken; and Emerging Photographer: Natalie Keyssar; and for Online Platform and New Media: Women Photograph.

Bruce Davidson’s work spans 60 years. Many of these images are important iconic and come to define moments in American history. With such an expansive career, it was both a challenge and a privilege to determine the bodies of work we would focus on.

Knowing that Bruce would be the best editor of his work, MediaStorm producer Samia Khan allowed Bruce to discuss, in an informal interview, the bodies of work he most wanted to discuss.

The film premiered on April 9, 2018 at the ICP Infinity Awards Gala in New York City. The film was a special feature of the evening, and a critical fundraising tool.

This film was a collaboration with Harbers Studio and the International Center of Photography.

Since 1985, the International Center of Photography has recognized outstanding achievements in photography with its prestigious Infinity Awards. The awards ceremony is also ICP’s primary fundraising benefit, with its revenues assisting the center's various programs.

Harbers Studios commissioned MediaStorm, on behalf of ICP, to create a short film about each of the recipients to screen at the awards ceremony and to display online. The films pay tribute to the contributions of each artist to the craft and field of photography and demonstrate ICP's commitment to them.
