This series contains black-and-white and color photographic prints, slides, negatives, transparencies, and 16mm film "trims" (short sections of camera original reversal film, usually 5-15 frames each). Most of the prints, slides, and negatives were taken by colleagues while Prelorán was filming. The two primary photographers are Sergio Barbieri and Lorenzo Kelly, who assisted Prelorán during the 1960s and early 1970s in Argentina. These photographs show Prelorán at work, as well as the subjects and locations of his films. The transparencies may have been used to make titles or promotional materials for some of the films. The 16mm trims come directly from the edited films (Series 1).
Arrangement:
The majority of the photographs are organized according to the film they are related to, maintaining Prelorán's arrangement. Some folders or individual photographs were separated out from Series 5: Production Files during processing.
