Jim Marshall was a self-made photographer most famous for shooting musicians and concerts like the one above of Def Leppard taken at Woodstock. Marshall picked up a camera when he was a teenage and fell in love with it. Soon after he got a job for a record label where he landed jobs like The Beatles farewell tour where he gained a lot of fame.
Marshall only had a few rules when it came to shooting his subjects, no editing, no hair and makeup, none of that. I think that is also a huge reason why he mostly shot photos in black and white. It shows the raw, and the emotion behind the photos.
Most of the time, when Jim Marshall was photographing an event, he was the only photographer there. Even though The Beatles farewell tour was widely photographed, he was the only one that was allowed backstage with the band. One of his most famous pictures is of the band running across the field from the stage after their final performance.
Other than musicians, Jim Marshall was very passionate about cars. He loved them from a young age and never lost his interest. He photographed the Indy 500 in 2005 and the release of the new car in Tokyo, Japan.
