Henry Diltz
There is no one as extraordinary as Henry Diltz among the photographers of the rock’n roll world. As one of the founders of the Modern Folk Quartet group, he is as much a touring musician as a visual historian who has worked during the last four decades of popular music. Diltz began photographing with a Japanese camera that he bought second-hand for $20 during a tour with the Modern Folk Quartet. When MFQ disbanded, his first photography job was a record cover for The Lovin ‘Spoonful.
Diltz was immersed in the music world, the travels, the gig, the humour, the social consciousness, the psychedelic, the ups and downs. For more than forty years he has worked on hundreds of album covers. His pictures can also be found in books, magazines and newspapers. With his unique style, he has produced fantastic photographic essays on Woodstock, The Monterey Pop Festival, The Doors, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Jimi Hendrix and several other legendary artists.
