LONDON: Is there really a new way to look at The Beatles, one of the most filmed and photographed bands in history?
Yes, says the United Kingdom's National Portrait Gallery, which is providing a fresh perspective with an exhibition of the band's-eye-view images that Paul McCartney captured as the group shot to global fame.Visitors look at pictures during a preview of the 'Paul McCartney Photographs 1963–64: Eyes of the Storm' exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in the United Kingdom's capital London on Tuesday, June 27, 2023.
'This wasn't The Beatles being photographed by press photographers of paparazzi, but peer-to-peer,' he said. 'So there's a real tenderness and vulnerability to these images.'In January 1964, McCartney took his camera with the band to Paris, capturing the city at the height of its French New Wave cool. While there, The Beatles learned that 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' was a No. 1 hit in the US.
