    About this photograph

    “At our first session, the band arrived without an entourage – no assistants, no one from the record label, and no manager. They were so cooperative and couldn’t have been nicer. A group’s first shooting is so important because they’ll do what you ask. After they’re successful, watch out. And then there was my introduction to Jim Morrison. 

    ‘Guy it’s Jim.’

    ‘You know me?’

    ‘Guy, we went to UCLA together.’

    ‘Oh my God, Jim!’ We’d been in the philosophy department reading Nietzsche. He was my college friend. He must have lost 20 or 30 pounds and let his hair grow. And I said, ‘Shit. I didn’t know you were a singer or poet.’ I was shocked. Jim was wearing a bad hippie shirt he’d probably gotten on the boardwalk in Venice. And so I continued on, ‘Jim, I have to be honest with you. That shirt looks so bad. You’re a beautiful guy; I just saw you onstage. Let me make you into a god. Take off your shirt.'” - Guy Webster

    About the photographer

    Guy Webster is known as one of the early innovators of rock and roll photography. His work has spanned the worlds of music, film and politics during his fifty year career. In the 1960s, Webster shot almost every band that came through Los Angeles, eventually branching out to photograph actors, composers, writers, athletes, and directors. Known for his evocative, painterly style, he created iconic album covers for The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, The Doors, Simon & Garfunkel, The Mamas & the Papas and many others. His life's work is collected in the award-winning book Big Shots: The Photography of Guy Webster published in 2014 and his photographs have been exhibited in galleries and in private collections all over world.
