Jeffrey Werner
Jeffery R. Werner has been a freelance writer and photographer for almost three decades, visiting more than sixty countries in his photographic pursuits. His work has been published in A Day in the Life of Hollywood and in hundreds of magazines worldwide, including Life, Time, People, Marie Claire, Smithsonian, Playboy, and Maxim. Werner is also the founder and CEO of the Incredible Features photo agency and was inducted into the Stuntworld Hall of Fame, an honor never before bestowed on a still photographer.
Incredible Stunts is the first full-length photo book of stunts, extreme sports, and daredevil mayhem created for both kids and adults. It contains an amazing collection of images from the exclusive archive of famed action photographer and photojournalist Jeffery R. Werner, who at times had to risk his own life to capture these death-defying images.
The daredevils and eccentrics of Incredible Stunts inhabit a world where motorcycles fly, people dive through flaming infernos and walk on the wings of airplanes, and bodies are shattered more often than records. You'll be awed by the way Werner--who has carved out a niche capturing bizarre stunts and action sequences--records these stunning sights, whether it's a man simultaneously swallowing 15 coat hangers, a terrifying mid-air car collision, or a woman suspended from a trapeze bar 1,000 feet above a forest. Incredible Stunts also explores the world of film and TV stunts, including a tribute to Evel Knievel and interviews with the stunt masters whose innovative skills inject an air of impossibility into every action sequence they create and choreograph.
