Yul Brynner - Photographer

[peterm1]

Its not often known that actor Yul Brynner was a keen photographer. He was also a very good photographer, particulalry of people and made many shots of his friends and associates in show business. He is said to have selddom gone anywhere without a camera.

Here is a link to some of his photos. BTW there are some very good books by his daughter Victoria about her dad and his hobby containing many of his images.

His cameras included Leica but he also seemed to be a keen early user of SLRs.

There also seems to be a larger compendium of his work - but be prepared for sticker shock.

yes, its also not so well known he liked to be called a photographer,
not a general interest.
