Kiefer Sutherland the star of the popular 24 will show off his hidden skill as a photographer in a special exhibition celebrating the launch of the series’ seventh season, the LA Times reports.

While filming the season's two-hour opening episode - 24: Redemption - in South Africa, Sutherland, director Jon Cassar and producer Michael Klick captured behind-the-scenes images of the film shoot. The 48 photographs include pictures of local wildlife and population in the surrounding areas of Cape Town.

The exhibition will be on display from 10 November at the Paley Center for Media in Berverley Hills, Los Angeles. To read the full story, check the LA Times' blog.

First Brad Pitt, now Kiefer. Who's next?

Who's next: Is that not exactly our problem 'elephant in the room'?

With the exception of the handful of star photographers you publicise in BJP, photography as a career is dead. In every sector - commercial, press, PR, weddings, portraits - you name it, I have anecdotal and my own evidence to show that I would rather put my daughter on the stage than set her off as a photographer because the odds of her ever earning a DECENT living are much higher. One of the very best commercial photographers I know, based in SE England,is currently gardening three days a week to make ends meet. Most of the provincial 'big names' are trying to survive by setting up teaching courses aimed at bringing more semi-pro and rank amateurs into the profession. 'Fess up guys, photography has never been healthier but times aren't just tough, we pros are dinosaurs.
