Oprah, The Beatles And Brad Pitt: A Photographer's 60-Year Retrospective by Claire O'Neill
Few photographers can say they've had the privilege of photographing The Beatles.
Even fewer can say that they had the opportunity, but didn't want to.
In January of 1964, photographer Harry Benson was packed and ready to leave for Africa on a news assignment.
The night before his flight, his editor called and assigned him to photograph "a relatively unknown pop group" in Paris instead.
Fortunately, Benson had no choice. "Unbeknownst to me at the time," he writes, "that was my lucky day."
