The Harry Benson. Paul photography book chronicles the relationship between photojournalist Harry Benson and Paul McCartney, spanning from The Beatles' US breakthrough in 1964 through decades of personal and professional milestones. Featuring over 100 colour and black-and-white images, it captures behind-the-scenes moments, recording studio sessions with Linda and Wings, family life, and live performances from the 1975–76 'Wings Over America' tour. The hardcover Taschen volume traces McCartney's evolution from performer to cultural icon through Benson's intimate, all-access lens.
Harry Benson's personal portrait of Paul McCartney begins in 1964, when the legendary photojournalist was on hand to capture The Beatles as they broke the US, made their movie debut and went on a world tour. Following the end of the Fab Four, Benson continued to document the life of McCartney and then wife Linda, resulting in an intimate portfolio of images. It's all brought together in this Taschen-published volume, which traces the evolution of its namesake from performer to icon, father and husband. Across more than 100 colour and black-and-white images, this penetrating portrait offers an all-access view of Paul's sessions at the recording studio with Linda and Wings, with his family, behind the scenes and on stage during the 1975–76 'Wings Over America' tour, and at the couple’s UK farm.
