Co Rentmeester

You may not know his name, but you’ve seen his work. Co Rentmeester—Dutch-American, Olympic rower turned visionary photographer—is the eye behind some of the most iconic images of our time. His shot of Michael Jordan helped shape what would become the legendary Nike logo (though the brand won’t admit it). His haunting Vietnam War photos inspired Francis Ford Coppola while making Apocalypse Now and with more LIFE Magazine covers to his name than any other photographer, Rentmeester’s impact is undeniable. This book is a bold dive into Rentmeester’s extraordinary archive—showcasing a photographer who defied categories and redefined visual storytelling. Artistic. Gritty. Creative. Commercial. Timeless.
