The film shows a man who is empathetic toward those in his photos, but less forgiving with himself.
The only thing better than Harry Benson behind the camera is Harry Benson in front of it.
The filmmakers are themselves too celebrity besotted to comment in a meaningful way on how Benson's career balanced depictions of the rich and famous with in-the-trenches risk-taking.
The film, by Justin Bare and Matthew Miele, would be better if it spent less time gushing about how great Mr. Benson is and more time confronting some of the questions his approach raises.
"He can shoot fast and make art," a friend says, and "Harry Benson: Shoot First" makes that point again and again.
Overall, "Shoot First" is a breezy look at a professional whose work remains endearing, despite some highfalutin claims.
