“Her Rolleiflex 2.8F is documented throughout the film "Finding Vivian Maier" (2013) and in photographs of her at work.”
Documentary ↗“Documented in Patricia Bosworth's biography and in Arbus's own correspondence; she adopted the Rolleiflex in the early 1960s.”
“Keïta used a twin-lens Rolleiflex camera in his Bamako studio; the waist-level viewfinder allowed a less confrontational relationship with portrait subjects. His camera is documented in accounts of his studio practice and in catalog essays accompanying his exhibitions.”
“Miller used a twin-lens Rolleiflex for her war correspondence work and field photography; the camera's square format and waist-level viewfinder suited conditions in which raising a 35mm camera to eye level would attract attention or disrupt access. Her Rolleiflex is documented in "The Lives of Lee Miller" (1985) by Antony Penrose and in the Lee Miller Archives.”
