Preserving some of the most arresting images of Bob Dylan ever taken, Real Moments celebrates the award-winning work of photographer Barry Feinstein, the photographer behind some of the most iconic images of Bob Dylan captured.
Many can point a camera and push a button. Not everyone can make an image sing. Bob Neuwirth
Barry Feinstein first photographed Bob Dylan at the request of Columbia Records. Taken on the balcony of an NYC penthouse, the portrait Dylan hand-picked became the cover of The Times They Are A-Changin' and is now considered a classic.
Two years later, embarking on the 1966 European tour, Dylan was dressed to kill in shades, polka dots and stripes. Every night, halfway through his set, his acoustic guitar was discarded in favour of a Fender Telecaster to the frequent jeers of folk purists in the crowd. Bob Dylan had 'gone electric' and was redefining the concept of popular music. In Barry Feinstein, Life magazine had a photographer equal to the historic moments he was witnessing.
Real Moments contains nearly 100 striking images of Bob Dylan taken between 1963 and 1974. Many have never been published while others can only be described as iconic.
Feinstein himself admits, 'I don't feel that much needs explaining. My photographs speak for themselves.' Even so, the photographer's comments run throughout and, despite his protestations, provide a fascinating context for each shot, both the previously unseen and the legendary.
Barry Feinstein has photographed two American Presidents, and his award-winning work has appeared in Life, Time, Esquire and Newsweek as well as on over 500 album covers - including George Harrison's All Things Must Pass and Janis Joplin's Pearl.
A good friend of Steve McQueen, Feinstein first made his name in Hollywood photographing stars like Marlene Dietrich and Charlton Heston for Columbia Pictures. Albert Grossman introduced him to Bob Dylan, who he was then asked to photograph. The resulting portrait became the cover of the 1964 album The Times They Are A-Changin'.Working for Life magazine, he was the only photographer invited to accompany Bob Dylan on his legendary 1966 European tour. It was another eight years before Dylan next took to the road but, in 1974, Barry Feinstein was once again the only photographer to travel with him.
