“I am the same person I always was; except I’ve
become more elaborate.” You might not recognize Allan Tannenbaum by
name, but you certainly know him through his iconic, distinctly
human photos. Back To The Present gives a rare, behind-the-scenes
glimpse into the life, craft, and philosophy of an artist who’s
often kept shielded by the prowess of his work. As a long-time
motorcycle enthusiast, Tannenbaum rides his way through capturing
the likes of John Lennon, Yoko Ono, The Ramones, Jimi Hendrix, to
the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks and conflict in the Middle East.
Through a series of intimate moments explored by director Jean
Pierre Kathoefer, we are reminded that life’s winding road becomes
more vibrant when we stop to take notice of the moments around us.
Tannenbaum’s new chapter leads him to split time between the now
guilded streets of SoHo in his original studio, and his more quiet
life in the Catskills. While Tannenbaum’s accolades and activism as
a photojournalist have brought him an incredible amount of success,
it’s clear that he’s never abandoned the unrelenting spirit that
have got him to where he is today.
