In 'Jeff Bridges: Pictures Volume Two,' the actor shares his behind-the-scenes photos.
Bridges, 69, refers to the Widelux as a “fickle mistress,” and its extremely slow shutter speed slurs time; he sees the camera as “sort of a missing link between still photography and moving pictures.” The result, which can be both blurryin focus within a single frame, is an unpredictable but artistic photograph — making the Widelux perhaps the perfect camera for Bridges, who has long looked for the art in life, no matter how unpredictable the results.
You might think that wandering around the set watching for “the way the light’s falling” while between scenes could take Bridges out of character. “It’s funny, I used to give myself a bad time when I would get distracted by doing something creative while I should be studying my lines,” he says. “But then I noticed that when I engage creatively, it shakes up all my juices.”
His acting and photography “kind of inform each other,” he says. “It’s all the same stuff. It’s letting it have its way with you — and getting out of the way. If they say, ‘We need you,’ then it’s like, ‘OK, I’ll be right there.’ And you take that same feeling and you bring it into your work.” There’s no denying Bridges has an eye for small but fascinating moments — he was honored by the International Center of Photography in 2013 — but in these days of CGI-creep, he also feels a sense of mission about what he documents: “To let people know what it was like to be in the movies at this particular time. Because it’s going to change really fast.”
