Harry Benson. The Beatles by Harry Benson Hardcover Book

Description: Harry Benson. The Beatles by Harry Benson The best of Harry Bensons era-defining Beatles portfolio captures them on the road, performing, relaxing, composing and acting in A Hard Days Night. From their famous pillow fight in Paris to their first U.S. tour, Bensons luminous black-and-white photographs show intimate glimpses of George, John, Paul, and Ringo during peak Beatlemania. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In early 1964, photographer Harry Benson received a call from the photo editor of Londons Daily Express, who asked him to cover the Beatles trip to Paris. It was the beginning of a career-defining relationship, which would both make Bensons name and produce some of the most intimate photographs ever taken of the Beatles. In Paris, Benson captured the Fab Four in the midst of a pillow fight at the George V Hotel, a spontaneous moment which came to epitomize the spirit of the band-Benson himself has called it the best shot of his career. Later that year, he followed the group on the road for their debut U.S. tour, documenting their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, their surprising encounter with Cassius Clay, and the hysteria of New York Beatlemania. Benson also photographed George Harrisons honeymoon in Barbados, documented the Beatles on the set of their debut movie A Hard Days Night, and was present on the now infamous 1966 tour when John Lennon said that the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus." This pocket-sized edition brings back the best of Bensons luminous black-and-white Beatles portfolio. Complemented by quotes and newspaper clippings from the period, an introduction by the photographer himself adds exciting personal testimony to these iconic images of the greatest band in musical history. Author Biography Glasgow-born Harry Benson has photographed every US President since Eisenhower, the Civil Rights movement, and was next to Robert Kennedy when he was assassinated.
