About this photograph
"That session started at midnight, they’d been in a studio all day. I had built a set which was, in fact, like a dock scene with the people I work with as extras in vintage costume. So, I’m beginning to work with the band. I push them—”Hey guys, nothing is happening here”—no boundary crossing of the sort I value. Then one of my staff, this woman who was playing Mick Jagger’s consort, suddenly felt the desire to kiss him. She grabs him and they both lose their footing and they do this near-somersault, and I just fired off about ten shots, cocking away, from the kiss to the fall. And I knew in that moment I had my quote unquote Rolling Stones moment." - Norman Seeff
