Origins and History
Contemporary Music Photographs have a rich history that dates back to the early 20th century. With the rise of jazz in the 1920s, photographers began to capture the energy and excitement of live performances. The 1950s and 60s saw the emergence of rock and roll and the birth of music photography as an art form. Photographers like Jim Marshall, Baron Wolman, and Annie Leibovitz captured iconic images of musicians like Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, and Janis Joplin. The 1970s and 80s saw the rise of punk and new wave, and photographers like Sheila Rock and Mick Rock captured the raw energy of these movements. Today, music photography continues to evolve with the rise of digital technology and social media.
