Harry Benson is an internationally renowned photographer. His pictures have appeared in many publications including “Life”, “Vanity Fair”, “People” and “The New Yorker”.

Some of Benson?s photos have achieved iconic status. His first international break came when assigned to travel with The Beatles to America in 1964, and perhaps his most recognisable image shows the band erupting in a gleeful pillow fight on hearing that “I Want to Hold Your Hand” had reached number one.

Other celebrities Benson has photographed include Michael Jackson, who allowed him access to his bedroom, and Elizabeth Taylor, who Benson photographed before and after her brain surgery. He has also taken photos of political figures, including every US president since Eisenhower, and covered war zones.
