    About this photograph

    James Brown portrait in New York City photographed in 1979 by Deborah Feingold.

    "That was an interesting shoot because I only discovered that picture years later and I have no memory of taking it. Because, what I do remember was the assignment, which was going into a room with the reporter and we were waiting in line. When it was our turn, it was at the record company's office. I was only allowed to shoot while he was speaking during the interview and that was just a head shot that we ran. And years later, I went back and looked and found that image of him out on the street in front of a bus just bursting with energy and I have no memory of taking it but clearly I followed him out of the office." - Deborah Feingold

    About the photographer

    Deborah Feingold began her photography career in an unusual darkroom: a Boston prison cell, where she taught troubled youth in the early 1970s. This experience cemented her belief in the camera's power for self-expression and communication, laying the groundwork for her distinguished career. Moving to New York City in 1976, Feingold quickly rose to prominence with her iconic portraits of music legends such as Chet Baker, B.B. King, James Brown, Bono, and Madonna. Her ability to put subjects at ease resulted in intimate, enduring images that have appeared in Rolling Stone, Time, Newsweek, and The New York Times. Feingold's work, featured in her 2014 book "Music" and the PBS special "Icon: Music Through the Lens," continues to inspire and influence the world of music photography.
