Thanks very much, handy to have the reference. It may not be easy finding them all but having the titles helps.

One of the characters in the Mike Leigh film Secrets and Lies (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117589/ (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117589/)) runs a neighbourhood photo studio, the kind that mostly don't exist anymore, and there are really good scenes of him at work.

Love stories like this.
Incidentally the Mike Leigh film “Naked” changed my life... and scarred me.

A Mike Leigh film that I didn't see, I must have been asleep.

Faye Dunaway played a photographer in Three Days of the Condor, but it was a minor side plot. She also played a photographer in Eyes of Laura Mars.

John Cardinal's wife was a photographer in the Cardinal books and TV series (author Giles Blunt).

I think Helmut Newton shot the pics.
