Yul Brynner Photographer Reviews:
Yul Brynner, fotógrafo 
2007-12-18 - Bonito libro que muestra las inquietudes fotográficas del recordado Yul Brynner, el actor más magnético y apasionado que haya existido nunca.
Captivating Coffee Table Book 
2004-10-10 - The wonderful Brynner's excellent photography is showcased here with a great assortment of pictures, assembled by his daughter. She tends to overdo it with her prose, as I suppose any adoring daughter would, but the moody B&W images are the star here...so skip right to them and enjoy a glimpse back at the times captured by the talented actor/photographer.
A Wonderful Actor, An Even Better Photographer 
2000-04-25 - Yul Brynner was a very good actor. A lot of people know that. What most people don't know is that he was also a brilliant photgrapher.
This book is just beautiful. It has pictures of Yul himself, taking pictures of other people; Yul's family; and of course, what we all want to see, photos of his famous friends. Only he could photogrpah Liz Taylor, swimming in the pool with her daughter, without any makeup on, or Deborah Kerr standing with a color palet over her head, while the director of "The King And I" tries to decide what color her hair will be in the film. His daughter, who edited the book, wrote that her father was charmed by Ingrid Bergman's beauty, and it certainly shows - we see some wonderful, candid pictures of this great actress in the book, too. Also included are pictures taken on the sets of his famous movies - "The Ten Commandments", "Anastasia", "The King And I", and "The Magnificent Seven", and pictures of his celebrity friends, including: Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn, Charlton Heston, Jean Cocteu, Kay Kendall, Charlie Chaplin,Frank Sinatra, Rita Hayworth, Richard Burton and Salvador Dali.
My favourite photos, however, are of his (later ex) wife, Doris. You can see that he really loved her - like he loved each and every one of the people he photgraphed. They trusted him, and gave them the best gift possible -his art.
