'The decision to use the shot on the cover of Blonde on Blonde was one of pure art and extremely brave. Few photographers would allow such an image to be used, even now.' - The Guardian

A photographer for publications such as Vogue and Life magazines, Schatzberg first met Dylan during the recording of Highway 61 Revisited. In addition to photographing Dylan in the recording studio, on and off stage, and capturing the now-iconic blurred cover of Blonde On Blonde, Schatzberg also crafted a series of formal studio portraits of unparalleled poetic beauty.

'We thought we knew Bob Dylan - until we saw this book.' - AIGA Book Awards

A New Yorker through and through, Schatzberg was at the centre of the city's cultural whirlpool in the Sixties, from where he captured candid photographs and intimate portraits of the generation's notable artists, celebrities and thinkers, including Andy Warhol, Edie Sedgwick, the Rolling Stones and many more. Many of these images are also included in Thin Wild Mercury.
