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. As well as The Beatles, he has shot some of the biggest personalities of the last 50 years, including Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor and Her Majesty The Queen. In 2009, he was made Commander of the British Empire (CBE).
Count on TASCHEN to up the ante on any cultural trope. The newly
released The Beatles: On the Road 1964-1966 is a lavish collection
of hundreds of Harry Benson's luminous black-and-white photographs
of the Fab Four at close quarters - from ecstatic encounters with
fans to quiet moments in the recording studio to playful boyish
frolicking.
