A massive coup': Rare Linda McCartney retrospective to show at the Ballarat International Foto Biennale

Paul McCartney often joked that he ruined his wife's career.

Before he met her, Linda Eastman was an award-winning photographer whose talent was capturing pop stars in those character-revealing moments in between poses. She made her name in 1966 as an editorial assistant at Town & Country magazine in New York, wangling her way into a Rolling Stones party on the band's motor yacht on the Hudson River and snapping the cool weariness of a band on the run.
But then “she became known as 'Paul's wife' instead of the focus being on her photography,” McCartney told The Guardian in 2019, of the woman he married in 1969 while the long, painful break-up of The Beatles dragged on.
