    A quiet portrait of a quiet woman
    I found this quite moving and inspirational. I met Jane Bown once in a lift on my way to the Observer as a young photographer. This film gets to the essence of one of the great portrait photographers of recent times. It begins to explore the method which was derived in part from her background and from her belief about what things should look like, the shape and texture of life.
