The Photograph Portfolio 2015

Ringo Starr

In 2015, Ringo Starr unveiled eight further signed portraits of his Beatles bandmates. One or two copies remain of Prints 1, 5 and 8.

50 years ago, Ringo shot on both black-and-white and vibrant colour films, and experimented with psychedelic fish-eye lens effects. His portraits show us George in a moment of quiet reflection; John and Paul recording in the studio; a seventies self-portrait and The Beatles in India.

Reproduced from the negative for the first time as large-format, museum-quality prints, only 25 numbered copies will be created worldwide. Each artwork is signed by Ringo Starr as a mark of authenticity.

The Photograph Portfolio 2015

USA, February 1964

The Photograph Portfolio 2015

Recording 'Hey Bulldog', Studio 3, Abbey Road Studios, February 11th 1968

And there were many, many magic moments, when it really worked.' Ringo Starr
