Up Close & Personal is more than just a collection of portraits of some of the best-known actors and entertainers of our own time; it is, quite deliberately, an exploration of the intangible qualities of fame and celebrity. Jeff Dunas is concerned not so much with who his sitters are, but with the question why we, the audience, can so easily identify with this group of individuals, and whether they have certain qualities that others of us seem not to possess. Common sense would indicate that the stars depicted - ranging from Cameron Diaz, Angelina Jolie, and Nastassja Kinski, to Martin Sheen, Nick Nolte, and James Brown - are all "normal" people, yet there is something about them that draws us in. When we confront these famous individuals in real life, it can be quite an unnerving experience. Dunas's rich and engaging photographs have much the same affect.

Up Close e Personal is more than just a collection of portraits of some of the best-known actors and entertainers of our own time; it is, quite deliberately, an exploration of the intangible qualities of fame and celebrity. Jeff Dunas is concerned not so much with who his sitters are, but with the question why we, the audience, can so easily identify with this group of individuals, and whether they have certain qualities that others of us seem not to possess. Common sense would indicate that the stars depicted - ranging from Cameron Diaz, Angelina Jolie, and Nastassja Kinski, to Martin Sheen, Nick Nolte, and James Brown - are all "normal" people, yet there is something about them that draws us in. When we confront these famous individuals in real life, it can be quite an unnerving experience. Dunas's rich and engaging photographs have much the same affect. Up Close e Personal è più di una semplice raccolta di ritratti di alcuni dei più noti attori e intrattenitori del nostro tempo; è, volutamente, un'esplorazione delle qualità intangibili della fama e della celebrità. Jeff Dunas non si preoccupa tanto di chi sono i suoi soggetti, ma della domanda perché noi, il pubblico, possiamo identificarci così facilmente con questo gruppo di individui, e se hanno certe qualità che altri di noi sembrano non possedere. Il buon senso indicherebbe che le stelle rappresentate - da Cameron Diaz, Angelina Jolie e Nastassja Kinski, a Martin Sheen, Nick Nolte e James Brown - sono tutte persone "normali", eppure c'è qualcosa in loro che ci attira. Quando ci confrontiamo con questi individui famosi nella vita reale, può essere un'esperienza piuttosto snervante. Le fotografie di Dunas, ricche e coinvolgenti, hanno più o meno lo stesso effetto.
