Beatles by Jim Marshall

Jim Marshall, who died in 2010 at age 74, is widely celebrated as a premier music photographer and pioneer of the genre. His portfolio includes photos of virtually every major musician of his era, not only the icons of rock and roll but also giants of jazz, blues, and country. Annie Leibowitz called him "THE rock and roll photographer." He was the first photographer to be awarded a Grammy Trustees Award for chronicling music history. Marshall was a legend for both his outsize personality and the way he seemed to disappear when behind his trademark Leica camera, thereby producing some of the most intimate and iconic images in music history.Amelia Davis is the owner and manager of Jim Marshall Photography LLC.

“Iconic rock roll photographer Jim Marshall captured not just the electricity onstage that historic day in San Francisco, but also intimate moments backstage.” —Rolling Stone
