The famous rock and roll photographer Jim Marshall recently passed away. I have a book of his photography called "Jim Marshal Proof" that I have been studying. The book is filled with his iconic portraits of rock stars like Jim Hendrix and Janis Joplin alongside contact sheets (proofs) of the famous images.
What I find amazing is how economically he shot, the contacts are filled with well composed, well exposed outstanding photographs shot after shot. There is no wastage in this mans exposures. He really showed what a skilled photographer can do using simple tools like a Leica Rangefinder and Tri-x film, a wonderful photographer.
