The late Mick Rock, who left us last Thursday, is known for his extraordinary body of photographic work, including iconic images of David Bowie, Lou Reed, The Stooges, Blondie, Queen, and pretty much anyone else you can think of. His life adventure was immortalized in the must-see documentary film Shot! The Psycho-Spiritual Mantra of Rock, presently streaming on Kanopy and Pluto and available to rent digitally on most of the others. Sit back, listen, enjoy, and join us in appreciation of the wit and brilliance of the one who was — and is — Mick Rock. Show Notes:Mick Rock, Sought-After Rock Photographer, Dies at 72Pop is now too controlled to allow a maverick like Mick Rock to flourishShot!

Seit Mitte der 70er Jahre fotografiert Joseph Carlucci Rockbands und hat rund 5000 Konzerte besucht. So war er bereits 1977 in Genf dabei, als AC/DC im Vorprogramm von Black Sabbath ihren ersten Schweizer Gig spielten.  Joseph Carlucci hat das Händchen, zur richtigen Zeit am richtigen Ort zu sein. In seinem grossformatigen neuen Fotoband «45 Years of Rock Photography» versammelt er die gesamte Rock-Schickeria, die er vor seiner Linse hatte. Von AC/DC bis Metallica, von Queen bis ZZ Top, von Mötley Crüe bis Van Halen oder von Kiss bis David Bowie. Im Rock Special reden wir über die Entstehung dieser Fotos, die Hintergründe und warum die Rockmusik unterdessen längst im Museum angekommen ist. 

Today's episode is an encore presentation of the show originally published on March 19, 2020. If you were otherwise preoccupied that week, we recommend you take a listen to this conversation about photographer Jim Marshall and the film “Show Me the Picture”, a documentary on his life and work as a rock-n-roll photographer. The film is now streaming on AppleTV/iTunes and if you are in Boston, MA on November 13, The Leica Store Boston is hosting a special screening of the film, followed by a conversation with author and the film's producer Amelia Davis and editor Bill Shapiro (coincidentally our guest on next week's new episode). There will also be a book signing of the companion book, “Jim Marshall Show Me the Picture”. The event is free but its necessary to sign up on eventbrite.  -------------------------------------------------------- Today we discuss some of the most recognized images of rock-n-roll history. Our first guest is photographer Amelia Davis who is the owner of Jim Marshall LLC, the living archive of the prolific photographer Jim Marshall, most known for his images of jazz and rock musicians of the 1950's through the 1970s.  If you are familiar with photos of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Johnny Cash, or the Allman Brothers Band, then you are certain to know his work. Marshall not only covered the Monterrey and Altamont festivals, but was the only photographer invited by the Beatles to cover their final concert. Marshall also documented the Civil Rights movement and the Haight-Ashbury scene in San Francisco. With Davis, we discuss how she came to be the proprietor of the archive and how she protects and manages the collection. We also talk about Marshall, the man, and why he was seemingly able to photograph “everyone” in that era.  Davis is also part of the production team behind the new film "Show Me the Picture: The Story of Jim Marshall”, which is well worth seeing to get a better understanding of Marshall's motley personality and his incredible body of work. After our chat with Davis, we welcome photographer Elliott Landy, who is producing a book of his images on the seminal rock group, The Band. Landy was the official photographer of the famed 1969 Woodstock music festival and responsible for unforgettable images of Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, and others.   Guests: Amelia Davis and Elliott Landy Photograph: MIles Davis © Jim Marshall Photography LLC

In episode 69 of Behind The Song, Janda examined the history and lyrics of "Can't Find My Way Home" by Blind Faith, the short-lived supergroup comprised of Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, and Ric Grech. The album artwork for the band's sole album was so controversial when it was released in 1969 that it was banned in the U.S. It was created by an American artist named Bob Seidemann, a rock photographer who later abandoned the music industry. Listen to find out about Seidemann's story in this episode. This is a bonus episode of Behind The Song.

This week's guest, thanks to cohost Alan Hess, is Las Vegas based corporate event, concert and portrait photographer, Brian Friedman. Even if you don't know the name, you'll know his work. He's one of the hardest working photographers in the music business, shooting for iHeart Radio. Brian only started professionally in 2005 and he's come a long way, getting to shoot a US President and multiple legends of music. Brian is also a COVID recoverer and he tells the story of how that came to be and his and his wife's recovery. Brian was a dream guest, his stories were so interesting. If you love photography you'll love listening to Brian's enthusiasm for his craft. Join myself and Alan for 90 mins of pure photography joy!Brian's Celebrity PortraitsBrian's InstagramBrian's WebsiteBrian's TwitterAbout Brian...What was once a hobby and then a dream, became a reality in 2005 when I started my career as a professional photographer. I didn't know where it would take me, but I knew it would be the adventure of a lifetime. Photographing people and events has opened up my world beyond my wildest dreams. Making art from what I see has become a true calling, and one I strive to do better and better, shoot by shoot. Access is a privelege I take very seriously. Whether I am backstage at an event, in close proximity to a subject, or in the audience, my goal is to capture the true essence of what's happening before me. I love it, and I'll never stop doing it.Photographer Brian Friedman started out as a road manager for the legendary jazz drummer Roy Haynes. But it was during Haynes’ 20-city tour, that Brian began photographing Roy and discovered his passion for image making that put him on a road to a new career. Since then, he has sharpened his skills and his eye to become recognized as a photographer of choice by noted entertainment personalities, corporate leaders, event planners and discerning individuals. His clients include iHeartRadio, Clearchannel Communications, NBC, CBS, 20th Century Fox, and comedians Brian Regan and Bill Burr, to name a few. Brian’s images have appeared in The New York Times, USA Today, People, Playboy, The Economist, and Pollstar to name a few. In 2007-2008 Brian had the distinct honor of photographing Barack and Michelle Obama for the Obama for America campaign. Recently Brian was given a 5 page live concert photography spread in M Music & Musician’s magazine – a first for that publication. To all of these assignments, Brian brings the same level of imagination and creativity that has distinguished his vision and his work for more than a decade.

Jason Miller is a live music photographer and has shot major rock gigs around the world.

Growing up in L.A. — Rock Photography and Photographing Michael Jackson — Feeling Split Between Commercial Work and Art — The Colonized Mind — Finding Balance Between Mind and Body — Make Rules Break RulesHosted by Lindsay Preston ZappasTodd Gray joins Lindsay for an hour long conversation surrounding his work and the influences that life experiences have had on his approach to thinking and making. Gray's meticulous photographs are framed and then stacked on top of each other, so certain areas are strategically concealed. Some of his works contain images of Michael Jackson among his other subjects of European gardens and scenes shot in Africa. As a teen, Gray started taking photos at rock concerts, and for a stint became a successful music photographer, working with The Rolling Stones, and doing album art for Jackson Five, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Wonder. He later became Michael Jackson's personal photographer, and amassed a huge archive of images. Alongside all this, Gray received his MFA from CalArts in 1989 where he studied under photographer Allan Sekula and focused primarily ideas of mental colonialism. These ideas first started around his well-known subject, Michael Jackson, until Gray realized that his own mind had been colonized by his western upbringing and education. Todd and I talk about the split between a western logical thinking, and a more African bodily and intuitive way of thinking—and how much of his practice is an effort to reconcile the two.Gray's exhibition, Euclidean Gris Gris, is on view at Pomona College Museum of Art through May 17, 2019.
