Linda McCartney's Life Documented in New Photography Book

The late Linda McCartney’s life in photography is being documented in a new book entitled ‘Life in Photographs’.

From her early rock 'n' roll portraits, through the final years of The Beatles, Linda captured her whole world on film. Her shots range from spontaneous family pictures to studio sessions with Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson, as well as artists Willem de Kooning and Gilbert and George. Always unassuming and fresh, her work displays a warmth and a feeling for the precise moment that captures the essence of any subject. Whether photographing her children, celebrities, animals, or a fleeting moment of everyday life, she did so without pretension or artifice.

It all started in 1966, during a brief stint as a receptionist for Town and Country magazine. Linda, then known as Linda Eastman, snagged a press pass to a very exclusive promotional event for the Rolling Stones aboard a yacht on the Hudson River; her fresh, candid photographs of the band were far superior to the formal shots made by the band's official photographer, and she was instantly on the way to making a name for herself as a top rock 'n' roll photographer.

The book was produced in close collaboration with Paul McCartney and the couple’s three children, and includes hundreds of photographs hand-picked from a pool of over 200,000. ‘Life in Photohgraphs will be on sale on April 20th.
