Baron Wolman: The Rolling Stone Years

Every Picture Tells A Story

I’ve worked with Baron “Mixing business with pleasure since 1965” Wolman for almost 20 years now. Baron’s iconic photographs graced the earliest years of Rolling Stone magazine, when he was their first shooter. His new autobiographical book, ‘Baron Wolman: The Rolling Stone Years’ is packed with icons of the 60s and 70s, the stories behind the photographs, and is an honest account of starting out green – “I didn’t know what backstage was.”

“I hope people spend some time reading the text. We look at pictures and wonder how they came to be. Or we speculate a bit about the life of a photographer, especially one who has been on the front lines, the front lines of any subject, be it music, war, politics, etc. In my book I tried to provide a small window into that photographer’s life and offer a few words about the origin of the photos.” – BW
