Big man on campus Jeff Bridges has been documenting behind the scenes of film sets with his Widelux panoramic camera since the 80s. If you've never spooled through them before, you're in for a treat, because they're proper mint.

As is to be expected from a guy who wears his own clothes during filming, Jeff's approach to photographing the busy back end of filmmaking isn't stained by Hollywood glitz and glamour; it's pretty lo-fi, personal stuff, and exudes the kind of laid-back charm we've come to expect from The Dude.

Feast your peepers on some of our favourites...
