by Philip Gotlop

Mark Nicholls’ research:

Philip was a professional photographer of great note. He authored books on photography, including Figure Photography, The Technique of Nude Photography Vol 1, Tackle Photography This Way, and Manual of Professional Photography. He photographed many celebrities, but in particular musicians of the 1950s and
1960s. His most important job was probably photographing the Beatles at a very early recording session at Abbey Road Studios in 1963.

 

 

Article from the Beatles Fan Magazine:

 

…”My very first photo and interview session with the Beatles took place at EMI’s Abbey Road Studios on July 1st 1963. I decided to use Philip Gotlop because, although he was in his early fifties, he was the doyen of pop photographers, taking nice, clear, sharp shots which were reproduced in all the weekly newspaper and pop magazines. I also knew that he had already photographed the
Beatles and he told me that they had got on together very well. “…
