Wood Takes Up On-Set Photography

[Elijah Wood](https://www.contactmusic.com/elijah-wood) has become an avid photographer over the last few years, after getting into the habit of taking snapshots on his movie sets.

The 24-year-old actor started taking photographs of his work in progress as he shot his hit [Lord Of The Rings](https://www.contactmusic.com/lord-of-the-rings) trilogy in New Zealand, and he's continued to do the same on all of his movie sets.

He says, "I have boxes of (pictures I took on the Lord of the Rings set). They're sad, in a way. I was 18 years old when we first started shooting, and it had such an impact on me as a person - it was massive. So looking back now is somewhat nostalgic.

"I generally don't tell people I'm taking photos of them. I'll just capture moments. If someone starts laughing during a conversation, I'll take a photo, so that it's spontaneous. And the camera is so small, I never make a big deal out of it."
