Ringo Starr
Celebrating 60 years of The Beatles in the USA and the 50th anniversary of Genesis Publications, Ringo Starr is unveiling new additions to The PHOTOGRAPH Portfolio. Among other highlights, Ringo shows us John and Paul recording at Abbey Road Studios, George smiling on a yacht in Cannes, and the first-ever photo of Ringo behind the drums at the Cavern Club, Liverpool.
Stunning landscape pictures, taken during Ringo's travels across the world, join these intimate portraits. Ringo shot on classic black-and-white and vibrant colour film and experimented with flash photography and infrared effects, all of which can be seen in this new and updated collection.
The PHOTOGRAPH Portfolio showcases Ringo's camera work in a series of museum-quality prints, reproduced from the negative for the first time. Created in small artist editions of only 25 numbered copies, each print is signed by Ringo Starr. A certificate of authenticity accompanies the final framed artwork.
