Jeff Bridges has been taking photos behind the scenes on film sets for his entire acting career. Using his Widelux F8 camera, he's captured firsthand the "moments between the moments" in moviemaking—in highly personal, spontaneous, wide-format images that bridge the worlds of still photography and motion pictures.
Initially, these intimate photos were printed privately in albums as a thank-you to cast and crew. This book includes selections from those albums, and chronicles iconic films through the decades, from The Last Picture Show (1971), to Starman (1989), to Seabiscuit (2003), featuring some of the era's most fascinating and respected actors, directors, and movie professionals.
Collectively, the images offer incomparable insight into the rigorous creative process and camaraderie of making a movie. With observations by Jeff, a forward by Peter Bogdanovich, and a comprehensive filmography, this volume is a unique tribute to the discipline, beauty, illusion, and grit of filmmaking.
All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the Motion Picture & Television Fund, which provides care and support to those who've given much of their lives to the industry. Jeff's commitment to the Fund is rooted in his gratitude for the joy the work has brought him, and his understanding that making movies is truly a communal art.
For decades, Jeff Bridges has used his Widelux F8 camera to document moments between shots in the world of moviemaking. As he has noted, the capricious format of the Widelux lends his images unexpected and surprising elements—with a cinematic quality reminiscent of widescreen motion pictures.
These photos, which were originally shared privately as gifts to fellow artists on set, have been collected now for others to enjoy. Pictures, Volume 2 spans 15 years of Jeff's films, from Seabiscuit (2003) to Bad Times at the El Royale (2018), with some of the industry's most interesting and provocative performers and professionals.
The book includes Jeff's comments, a preface by Kerry Brougher, and a comprehensive filmography. More than an insider's photographic record of life on film sets, Jeff's candid photos illuminate the dedicated concentration of the cast and crew members who collaborate intensively to create imaginary worlds.
All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the Motion Picture & Television Fund, which provides a safety net to those who've devoted their lives to the industry. Jeff's commitment to the Fund stems from his belief that the film experience owes its finest moments to the collective participation of everyone involved, at every level.
