Synopsis

Across four decades, photographer Norman Seeff has created some of the most iconic portraits of the biggest names in music, art, and showbiz: Patti Smith, Ray Charles, Miles Davis, the Rolling Stones, Steve Jobs, Marc Bolan, Frank Zappa, and many more. Rock 'n' roll, blues, jazz, or new wave: his pictures burst with spontaneous vitality and give us deep insights into the culture of photography and music in the 1960s to the 1980s. In this first major monograph, we witness how Seeff captured artists on film, in their private surroundings, or at the studio.
