It was the beginning of a career-defining relationship, which would both make Benson’s name and produce some of the most intimate photographs ever taken of the Beatles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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 band—Benson 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 Harrison’s honeymoon in Barbados, documented the Beatles on the set of their debut movie A Hard Day’s Night, and was present on the now infamous 1966 tour when John Lennon said that the Beatles were “more popular than Jesus.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis pocket-sized edition brings back the best of Benson’s 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4 role=\"heading\"\u003eThe photographer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGlasgow-born \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.taschen.com\/en\/collection\/harry-benson\/\"\u003eHarry Benson\u003c\/a\u003e has photographed every US President since Eisenhower, the Civil Rights movement, and was next to Robert Kennedy when he was assassinated.
