Earlier this year, Scott Caan – actor, director, writer – added yet another title to his resume: published photographer. "Scott Caan Photographs, Vol. 1" (now available at RatPress.com) is a collection of his work since 2003, when he was directing the film "Dallas 362" and his father, legendary actor James, gave him a vintage camera for his birthday. "It sort of changed my whole perspective on making movies. My original approach [to directing] was to just get a good cinematographer and deal with the actors mostly, but after I started taking pictures, it couldn't have been more of a 180," says Caan. The book includes shots from Caan's global travels, but for this exclusive excerpt on LIFE, he offers his insider's perspective on a rarefied place he knows very well: the world of celebrity.
