TV Icon William Shatner Goes From Starship Captain to 'Cameraman'
as a Guest Celebrity Photographer for Playboy.com Shatner's Photos
of Playboy Playmate Deanna Brooks Can be Found Exclusively on
Playboy.com NEW YORK, April 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Television icon
William Shatner has played a macho Starship Captain and a heroic
policeman but has he ever worked as a professional photographer? He
has now. Shatner recently took a break from his insane schedule --
he's on The Practice, he's about to film the sequel to Miss
Congeniality and he has an album coming out this summer -- to enter
somewhat unfamiliar territory by taking on the role of Playboy
photographer for an exclusive Playboy.com shoot. The photo shoot
took place at Playboy's Santa Monica studio and Shatner's subject
was Playboy Playmate Deanna Brooks, Miss May 1998. Shatner wasted
no time getting behind the camera and posing his model for the
unusual photographs. A lifelong photography buff, Shatner is a huge
fan of photography and even requested an exotic fisheye lens to
shoot the kind of artistic images he was after. "I have been
fascinated with photography most of my life," Shatner explained to
Playboy.com. "I came here with the intention of not just shooting a
beautiful girl, but photographing those parts of her that say
something to me -- the texture of her skin, the curve of her body
and the femininity that we men like to look at." Shatner also
participated in a "Dirty Dozen" interview, Playboy.com's
12-question "sexamination," where he talks about everything from
making out to his own music to sex with an alien. Shatner's
pictorial of Deanna Brooks, plus behind-the-scenes photographs and
video from the session can be seen only in the Playboy Cyber Club (
