2) Paul Saltzman
Paul Saltzman, an acclaimed photographer, had the remarkable opportunity to accompany The Beatles on their visit to India. After going through a difficult breakup with his girlfriend, Paul sought solace and embarked on a journey of meditation at the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram in the sacred city of Rishikesh, India. Coincidentally, The Beatles were also present at the ashram during that time. Spotting them sitting at a table, Paul approached and asked to join them, leading to a unique and memorable experience.
During his time in India, Paul not only spent time with The Beatles but also captured their candid moments through his camera lens. His photographs of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr have been hailed as some of the best intimate shots ever taken of the legendary band. In addition to The Beatles, Paul’s lens also captured other notable figures such as Donovan, Mia and Prudence Farrow, and Mike Love.
