Citando:
"Embora tenha sido também o autor do primeiro calendário Pirelli e tenha realizado o filme The Touchables, um estudo sobre a Londres dos anos 60 em plena revolução juvenil, é então o seu trabalho com os Beatles que define a sua carreira. “Além de ser um óptimo profissional, ele era imaginativo e um verdadeiro pensador original. As pessoas pensam muitas vezes que a capa de Meet The Beatles com as nossas testas meio na sombra foi uma imagem cuidadosamente orquestrada num estúdio. Na verdade, foi feita muito rapidamente no corredor de um hotel em que estávamos [em Bournemouth], com a luz natural a entrar pelas janelas no fundo do corredor”, conta Paul McCartney num testemunho publicado no seu site."

Citando:
" Harrison was miserable from frame one to frame 500,” says Ethan Russell. “He was so over it. I don’t think he did anything but scowl for three hours.” The photographer is recalling the day he unknowingly took the last ever shot of the Beatles together. It was 22 August 1969, and they were all at John Lennon’s countryside estate near Ascot."

(...)
"Speaking on documentary film One Day A Week, the 75-year-old confessed he was inspired to write the song after seeing an image of a woman in National Geographic magazine in the 1960s.

He explained that the maternal bond in the photo, which saw a vulnerable woman breastfeeding with another child close by, had really 'affected' him - leading him to write the number one single."

Citando:
"UK Prime Minister Theresa May says location of 'sick and depraved terrorist attack' was 'no accident'

Citando:
"(CNN)At 19, British photographer David Magnus was invited to shoot a still relatively unknown pop group called The Beatles during a concert at a Buckinghamshire private school.

Needless to say, they didn't stay unknown for much longer. The Fab Four would go on to be one of history's most influential and critically acclaimed musical acts -- and Magnus, who became a friend of the band, would be there to capture their career milestones.

"Nobody expected that these four talented lads from Liverpool would go on for what is now 54 years," Magnus, now 72, told CNN in an email.

"Looking back at that weekend and the time I spent through the years with The Beatles, I now realize how incredibly fortunate I was to spend so much time with them."

In June 1967, the band invited him to Abbey Road Studios (then known as EMI Studios) the weekend they recorded "All You Need is Love" for the BBC's "Our World," the world's first live, international satellite production, and the first time they'd performed the song in public.

Fifty years later, the public can see Magnus' behind-the-scenes photos from that weekend at his new exhibition, "The Beatles Unseen: Photographs by David Magnus," at London's Proud Chelsea gallery. "

Citando:
"Linda, a musician, photographer, and the late wife of Beatles bassist Paul McCartney, began taking pictures in the ’60s, documenting her time spent among dazzling musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger, and Aretha Franklin. She was the first female photographer to shoot the cover of Rolling Stone; six years later, in 1974, she appeared on the cover herself, along with her husband.

Mary later followed suit, taking care to capture everything from a backstage portrait of pop star Rihanna to an intimate shot with fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, as well as allowing a glimpse into her family’s unexpected domestic rituals."
