The Bay Area photographer who shot the Beatles and the Stones in a 'fairy tale' career

In his brief but prolific career as rock ‘n’ roll’s preeminent photographer, Ethan Russell toured with the Rolling Stones, shot album covers for the Who and captured iconic images of everyone from Linda Ronstadt to Jim Morrison of the Doors. And, yes, that was him clicking away in the background of Peter Jackson’s Beatles documentary “Get Back” on Disney+.

Russell, who grew up in San Francisco and lives in Marin County, will revisit these incredible experiences as part of his upcoming appearance at Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga on Saturday, March 19. The show is called ⁠— what else? ⁠— “The Best Seat in the House.” The 76-year-old photographer says it will be one of his last public outings of its kind, a contractual obligation from before the coronavirus pandemic.
