Over 40 years ago, The Beatles cast a magical
spell from
which the world has never recovered.
Their impact, not only
on rock & roll music but on all of
Western culture, is simply incalculable.
In 1962, Dezo Hoffman received a letter from a fan sent to the
Record Mirror, a publication
at which Dezo was a staff photographer,
bitterly
complaining that the press was ignoring
the "fab" group in Liverpool called
THE BEATLES.
Consequently, he went to Liverpool and
took his first
pictures
of the "smart but rather subdued" group of four young men. |
|
During their meteoric rise in popularity, THE
BEATLES hired
Dezo Hoffman to be their first
professional photographer.
He would go on to chronicle their experiences and as a
firsthand
participant, captured some of the most bold,
imaginative and sensitive
images ever produced of THE BEATLES.
Dezo took more shots of the
group, and was closer to
them, than almost any other photographer.
He
covered nearly every major event in their
career, often being the only
photographer present. |
In addition to many private photo sessions in
his London studio,
he photographed their audition with George Martin,
their
first recording sessions at Abbey Road Studios, their
television specials
and films, and their tours of Europe and North America. |
