See intimate behind-the-scenes photos of the Rolling Stones from Bill Wyman's new book
“I started out using an old Brownie box camera my uncle Jack Jeffrey gave me as a boy.”
Photography followed Wyman into his music career and once the Stones’ career took off, he was regularly shooting his bandmates and his famous friends. He has now compiled some of these photos into a new folio,— out now from ACC Art Books — which contains snaps stretching from the Sixties into the late Eighties.
Many of his shots of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and others were caught on the fly between tour dates, at filmings, and in recording studios. “I always found that a subject could be captured more naturally if they were not aware of the camera,” he says. Wyman originally picked up photography as a means of illustrating his daily life, like a diary, to keep a record for his son Stephen, who was born in 1962. Later, he turned to photography to pass the time between gigs. His favorite photographers growing up were his uncle Jack and his friend Jack Oliver, who taught him to develop and print photos; later he drew inspiration from Terry O’Neill, Ethan Russell, Gered Mankowitz, and Steve Hiett. He’s even inspired by photos of himself.
