Début 1964, Harry Benson reçoit un appel du chef du service photo du Daily Express de Londres qui lui demande de suivre la tournée des Beatles à Paris. C’est le début d’une relation avec le groupe qui marquera profondément la carrière de Benson: le photographe devint célèbre grâce à ses clichés des Beatles, parmi les plus intimes jamais réalisés. À Paris, Benson immortalise les Beatles en pleine bataille d’oreillers à l’hôtel George-V; un moment de spontanéité qui en vint à incarner l’esprit du groupe — Benson dira lui-même que c’est la meilleure photo de toute sa carrière. La même année, un peu plus tard, il couvre la première tournée du groupe aux États-Unis, de leur passage dans The Ed Sullivan Show à leur étonnante rencontre avec Cassius Clay, sans oublier l’hystérie new-yorkaise de la Beatlemania. Benson a également photographié la lune de miel de George Harrison à la Barbade, le tournage du premier film du groupe, A Hard Day’s Night, et il était présent quand, lors de la scandaleuse tournée de 1966, John Lennon déclara que les Beatles étaient «plus populaires que Jésus». Auparavant épuisé, ce livre rassemble les plus belles et plus lumineuses photos du portfolio des Beatles en noir et blanc. Accompagnée de citations et de coupures de presse de l’époque, l’introduction de Benson ajoute une dimension personnelle à ces images emblématiques du plus grand groupe de l’histoire de la musique.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. In early 1964, photographer Harry Benson received a call from the photo editor of Londons Daily Express, who asked him to cover the Beatles trip to Paris. It was the beginning of a career-defining relationship, which would both make Bensons name and produce some of the most intimate photographs ever taken of the Beatles. In Paris, Benson captured the Fab Four in the midst of a pillow fight at the George V Hotel, a spontaneous moment which came to epitomize the spirit of the bandBenson himself has called it the best shot of his career. Later that year, he followed the group on the road for their debut U.S. tour, documenting their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, their surprising encounter with Cassius Clay, and the hysteria of New York Beatlemania. Benson also photographed George Harrisons honeymoon in Barbados, documented the Beatles on the set of their debut movie A Hard Days Night, and was present on the now infamous 1966 tour when John Lennon said that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. Previously out-of-print, this re-edition brings back the best of Bensons luminous black-and-white Beatles portfolio. Complemented by quotes and newspaper clippings from the period, an introduction by the photographer himself adds exciting personal testimony to these iconic images of the greatest band in musical history.
