Michael Joseph Color Photography
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.to

Debbie Harry, Red Salute, 1978
By Allan Tannenbaum
Located in White Plains, NY
'Debbie Harry, Red Salute,' 1978 by famed American photographer, Allan Tannenbaum. Archival pigment print, 10 x 15 inch photo on 17 x 22 inch on the finest satin photo paper, Ed. of 50. This photograph was taken at Tannenbaum's studio. From the artists' 4th hardcover book 'Grit and Glamour: The Street Style, High Fashion, and Legendary Music of the 1970s,' published in 2016. This color photograph was taken by Tannenbaum during his tenure at The SoHo Weekly News in New York City from 1973 to 1982 where he served as Chief Photographer and Photo Editor.
Allan Tannenbaum's career in photography spans more than four decades. Born in Passaic, New Jersey, in 1945, he received a B.A. in Art from Rutgers University in 1967, where he photographed for The Targum – the campus newspaper – and made films for his art courses. Gravitating to the nascent art scene in the SoHo district of Manhattan in 1972, Tannenbaum worked as a taxi driver and bartender while looking for work as a photographer. In 1973, when the SoHo Weekly News commenced publication, Tannenbaum became the Photo Editor and Chief Photographer. The newspaper started out as an eight-page free paper, but soon became a popular newsstand seller that rivaled the established Village Voice. Tannenbaum relentlessly covered the art world, music scene, politics, show business, and nightlife until 1982 when the SoHo News folded.
Tannenbaum has also done documentary and feature photography in places like Thailand, Indonesia, Palau, Jordan, Bahrain, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Brazil, Israel, Iceland, and Mexico. He has covered numerous political campaigns, nominating conventions and news stories in the U.S. such as the Oklahoma City bombing and the Columbine massacre. His work has appeared in many photo books and exhibitions, as well as appearing regularly in NEWSWEEK, TIME, LIFE, ROLLING STONE, PARIS MATCH, and STERN. His photographs have graced the covers of TIME three times, and NEWSWEEK five times. He now works as an international photojournalist contributing to various noted publications including Time, Life, and Newsweek. He is the author of three other books of his photography, including New York in the 70s (Feierabend, 2003), New York (Feierabend, 2004), and John and Yoko: A New York Love Story...
