About James Fortune - There's a very good chance you've seen the photography of James Fortune before. Like many of the 70s most famous rock photographers, James Fortunes images have been seen by millions in books, magazines and album covers.

Beginning in his college days in the late '60s, Fortune spent more than a decade photographing rock music icons like The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Doors, Paul McCartney, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, and countless others. His catalog of over 15,000 images from the tumultuous '60s and '70s contains shots of everything from hippie riots in Hollywood to Gene Simmons and Cher sharing an eclair. He ran with the high-and-mighty and photographed them all - Jimmy Carter and the Bee Gees, Iggy Pop, Eric Clapton and Ronald Reagan. His photographs capture moments in rock history. Back in the 1970's, in the aftermath of a world-wide political, civil, and sexual revolutions, Fortune plied his trade in the backstage areas and VIP sections of some of the nation's biggest musical events. His work even spanned the Pacific to Vietnam, where the intrepid photographer served active duty from 1968 to 1970 with the U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet Combat Camera Group.

The bedroom walls of Americas youth in the 70's and early 80's were plastered with his rock star posters. Now, for the first time, his limited-edition signed prints, adapted from his original negatives, are available to collectors in these truly affordable editions.
