Michael Joseph Art

South African, b. 1941
Michael Joseph is a photographer best known for his work on the Rolling Stones’ classic album “Beggar’s Banquet.” A fine art quality embodies Michael Joseph’s collection of Beggars Banquet photographs, as illustrated by the bright victorian-inspired styling of their group shots. The session took place at Sarum Chase, the former home of Victorian society painter Frank Owen Salisbury. Though Joseph’s photographs are now considered “among the best ever” taken of The Stones, a dispute between the band and their record label saw a plain R.S.V.P. invitation card used for the cover, which was later replaced by the infamous photograph of a graffiti-covered toilet. Michael Joseph was born in Kimberly – the Capital of South Africa’s Northern Cape Province – in 1941. His father was heavily involved in Anti-Apartheid activities, especially fundraising, and all of this gave Michael Joseph early exposure to politicians and social reportage from South Africa. Then, while at London College of Prints and Graphic Arts, Michael Joseph was sent to Vietnam to photograph the war. The images that came about as a result of this trip lead to 33 years of varied advertising assignments – with such companies as Benson and Hedges, Christies, Nivea, Pirelli, Malaysian Airlines, Schweppes and White Horse. He also worked in the fashion industry for Hart, Schaffner and Marks in Chicago. Based on Joseph’s extensive advertising portfolio, he was chosen by the Stones for the “Beggar’s Banquet” shoot. In 1995 the travel writer David Saunders approached Michael Joseph to do a course book on photography. 600 of his images appeared in this publication. This was immediately followed by an illustrated version of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” which donned the cover of the book by Douglas Adams.
 Currently, Michael Joseph has returned to the world of photography after a three-year hiatus. His hobbies are art, creative gardening, tennis, photography and photographic printing. His wine farm in Entre Deux-mer also keeps him fairly occupied. 
Michael Joseph contributed to the Decca Years Show with 8 outakes of his Beggar’s Banquet sessions.

'Towards your Heart' Large scale Photo. Triptych Ocean, Sea, Blue, Beach Cottage

By Sophia Milligan

Located in Penzance, GB

'Towards Your Heart' Limited edition archival photographic triptych. Unframed, hand signed and numbered (Edition number 3 of 25) _________________ It is not the size Nor power from which you fly But towards your heart The wild Atlantic explodes in raw abandon, given scale in this daring dance by the graceful flight of the sea bird. Sophia's poetic photographs are an exploration of the balance in all things: in the sensual interplay of light and shadow; in wild raw energy and serene stillness; in chaos and harmony; in the enduring and the effervescent. They are a contemplation of the awareness that everything in existence is temporary, they speak of the ephemeral nature of all things. Moments, feelings, experiences cherished and appreciated in their impermanence, for that is where the beauty comes from. 'I work in a balancing act of control and freedom; of discipline and guidance, whilst simultaneously relinquishing all authority and throwing the odds to the winds, to chance encounters and the unexpected'. Photographic triptych: each of three parts measuring 30 x 20 inches. Each printing is bespoke to order and can be printed on a single paper 30 x 60 inches. Please contact me for further information, or send a message with your order. Limited edition of 25 Archival Print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag® paper, one of the most beautiful and high quality art papers available. The luxurious matt finish provides a reflection free image that is rich in detail, depth and tone. Hand signed, titled and numbered to the lower right corner on an approximately 1 inch white border. Each print comes with a Certificate of Authenticity featuring a signature and edition number. Other sizes available * Please note that images of the artwork in situ and framed are an indication of how the piece can look, and in the context of other artworks. The artwork is being sold unframed. ________________________________ About The Artist Sophia Milligan...
