Exceptional Achievement Michael Putland
Michael Putland had a long and storied career, photographing such stellar names as Queen, Bob Marley, David Bowie, Madonna and Michael Jackson.
When he was starting out, the young Michael was so shy about approaching the staff of and that he’d hideand wait till no one was around before dropping his photos on their desk. But after a couple of years of mounting debts and no work, he decided to quit photography. Then he got a phone call. ‘Can you go and photograph Mick Jagger?’ So began a 17-year relationship with the Stones; he toured the world with them and shot some of their best performances.
