Paul McCartney’s photographs will be displayed at London’s National Portrait Gallery in an exhibition Paul McCartney Photographs 1963-64: Eyes of the Storm from June 28 to October 1. McCartney’s 35mm images document the Beatles’ travels from that era. The exhibition coincides with the June release of a photo book featuring the same work.
“Looking at these photos now, decades after they were taken, I find there’s a sort of innocence about them,” Paul McCartney said in a statement. “Everything was new to us at this point. But I like to think I wouldn’t take them any differently today. They now bring back so many stories, a flood of special memories, which is one of the many reasons I love them all, and know that they will always fire my imagination. The fact that these photographs have been taken by the National Portrait Gallery for their reopening after a lengthy renovation is humbling yet also astonishing—I’m looking forward to seeing them on the walls, 60 years on.”
