The Photograph Portfolio 2013

Ringo Starr

The Photograph Portfolio 2013 offered collectors the first ever chance to obtain Ringo Starr's photographs in a series of museum-quality prints. A few copies remain. Created in small editions of only 25 numbered copies, each print is signed by Ringo Starr as a mark of authenticity.

Taking you on a journey from his first car in Liverpool, to stunning landscape compositions shot as Ringo toured the world with the biggest band in history, in these photos Ringo shares his own unique viewpoint. Intimate portraits of The Beatles capture sides of John, George and Paul that only a bandmate would see.

'These are shots that no one else could have. I just had the camera with me a lot of the time.' Ringo Starr

1. Liverpool

The Photograph Portfolio 2013

c.1960 'As a drummer, not having a car was pretty difficult. When I had to come on the bus, I had to beg drummers in the other bands, "Let me play your drums." Sometimes they'd let me and sometimes they wouldn't. Later on, when I got my car, other drummers would beg me, "Let me use your kit, man!" and I'd say, "Sure," because I knew what begging for a kit was all about.' Ringo Starr

The Photograph Portfolio 2013

1964 'They're looking at us, and I'm photographing them. The first couple of years, we saw a lot of places from the car because we couldn't go out anywhere. We were just too big time. Everybody wanted a piece of us, so getting out was a big day.' Ringo Starr

3. John and Paul

The Photograph Portfolio 2013

1964 'John and Paul would write the songs at the beginning, then George started, and then I joined in. I remember ending up in the studio for hours and hours in the end. It was good, but I was the first person ever to put a back on a drum stool, so that I could just lean back a little. There was a lot of hanging-out time and I always wanted to be by the kit, ready if anyone got inspired.' Ringo Starr

'We were on a boat in Florida. Somebody lent us their motor launch and we went out. They let me drive and I came in to port straight on! I didn't swing it sideways, and I broke the rail. But, if you were a Beatle, you could break the rails on anybody's boat in those days.' Ringo Starr

The Photograph Portfolio 2013

It's very architectural.' Ringo Starr

8. Ringo and Paul

The Photograph Portfolio 2013

The Photograph Portfolio 2013

The Photograph Portfolio 2013
