Advertisement Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Hi daveleo, Take a look here Yul Brinner and his Photography. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lykaman Posted June 23, 2011 Share #22 Posted June 23, 2011 So What ? ? They are enormously wonderful to look at. I completely agree with daveleo... maybe some are jealous of both YB & the photographic opportunities he had, plus of course maybe their photographic awareness & capabilities are nowhere near as high as they might admit...

too old to care Posted June 24, 2011 Share #23 Posted June 24, 2011 I think about it this way, how many of us will ever get to take photos of people like that. I love them. Wayne Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prunelle Posted June 24, 2011 Share #24 Posted June 24, 2011 Check this out, some great shots by Yul Brinner, some showing him with a Leica ... He was good, wasn't he? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

myshkine Posted June 24, 2011 Share #26 Posted June 24, 2011 Thanks for the post EcatonYul Brinner also has a feature in 'Leica: Witness to a Century' by Alessandro Pasi You are right! I have this book (that I recommend), which calls YB a "great photographer". I completely agree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
epand56 Posted June 24, 2011 Share #27 Posted June 24, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Anyone could have made those pictures. First of all you had to be friend of Jean Cocteau and that's not this simple. Second he was an actor and not a photographer, hence an amateur. I think there are some very fine pictures for an amateur. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
viramati Posted June 24, 2011 Share #28 Posted June 24, 2011 Not wishing to be offensive but I would say it is somewhat facile to say anyone could have taken them, I would say He was pretty damn good. In the right place at the right time with some fantastic portraits of some great actors. Look at the shot of the children with the sprinklers to see what is in my mind a great picture. Thanks for posting the link 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pop Posted June 25, 2011 Share #30 Posted June 25, 2011 BFD Anyone could have made those pictures. Yes, I'm jealous, too. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJP Posted June 26, 2011 Share #31 Posted June 26, 2011 For me these are great pictures, don't care who took them but they show considerable talent in capturing special moments & special people with no indication of "posing". The B&W images are stronger I think. But it is a close call. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyril Jayant Posted June 27, 2011 Share #33 Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) BFD Anyone could have made those pictures. providing that you have an easy access to the location. That makes a lot different like this one I think. Every one didn't made photos like YB in his time. That is why he seems to have captered very special and beautiful images of lovely people. I love them. Edited June 27, 2011 by Cyril Jayant Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebarnman Posted June 28, 2011 Share #34 Posted June 28, 2011 Good photographer and of course, location & access to certain subjects help. It's not any different than the photographer covering a war and captures something no one else would have been unless they were there. There is however something a little different in these photos. Yul was able to take advantage of professional lighting on the sets as depicted on a few of the images. If I was there, I would have done the same thing! Yul definitely had his compositional skills down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
honcho Posted June 28, 2011 Share #35 Posted June 28, 2011 BFD Anyone could have made those pictures. Even you? I doubt it. Whilst none of the images are technically flawless, they represent an interesting retrospective glimpse of an interesting man's day to day life in the company of his friends, his colleagues and those he was related to. A fascinating selection of images. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prunelle Posted June 28, 2011 Share #36 Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) I'm just wondering: who, here, has no idea whatsoever who Yul Brynner is/was? Even the name in the title is misspelled (and I noticed only today! ) Edited June 28, 2011 by prunelle Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zeze Posted July 7, 2011 Share #38 Posted July 7, 2011 Fantastic link! I love the "Vanessa Redgrave with her daughters, Natasha and Joely Richardson, Cannes, 1968" picture very much. Dieter Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
