Overview

"Jurgen Vollmer has lead the traditional peripatetic life of a photographer and this book contains images of the people he has photographed in different countries across the globe. What is different from the usual collection of travel portraits is that often his subjects have been famous actors and literary figures. The first part of the book, ""On Filmsets"", consists of a series on two dozens American and a dozen French filmsets over the past four decades. The filmstars include among many others Brad Pitt, Johnny Deep, Sean Connery, Heath Ledger, Madonna, Arnold Schawargenneger, Catharien Deneueve, Isabelle Huppert and Jeanne Moreau.The portraits of directors include among others Francis Ford Coppola, Tony Scott, Roman Polanski, Barbara Streisand and Alain Resnais. Prominently featured are photos of Rudolf Nureyev, taken in 1966 during the filming of a ballet film. The second part of the book, ""On other Locations"", are photographs taken between 1961 and 1996, of local people in different countries, among them Turks, Sicilians, Egyptians and Senegalese as well as portraits of a few famous people, like John Lennon in Hamburg and William Burroughs in New York."
