Musician And Photographer – Harry Diltz
For album lovers everywhere, one of the biggest draws to the vinyl record is the palette format that creates for distinctive cover art. And album art has become more than just an industry term, but a full-fledged medium, no matter what genre you choose. While software like Photoshop has enabled today’s designer to produce vinyl album covers that defy convention, they owe a debt of gratitude to those that pioneered the form.
One of these men, Henry Diltz, nearly redefined the process in the 1960s. Diltz began his foray into the music industry as a founding member of the Modern Folk Quartet, hurling rock vinyl beyond just a mere auditory medium. Then again, he soon drifted toward photography. He soon started photographing the flourishing act after meeting the Monkees and sitting on some recording sessions. As his portfolio inflated, so did his reputation. He was named the official photographer of the Woodstock Festival in 1969. Still, it was rock vinyl where Diltz really left his mark.
Shooting some of the biggest names in rock in the late 1960s, Diltz caught images of musical idols that still speak to viewers across generational lines. For his career, Diltz has shot over 80 covers of rock vinyl albums. Of those, some have been truly career defining. His credits include the Doors’ “Morrison Hotel,” Crosby, Stills and Nash’s eponymous debut effort and Stephen Still’s self-titled solo debut. Diltz was put in rarified air in the world of rock journalism because of his work on these timeless rock vinyl masterpieces.
Even beyond mere covers of vinyl albums, Diltz resume is also jittered with images of both cultural and musical legends. His documentation of Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix living subtly captured their live magnetism. His soft remembrances of Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and James Taylor captured their gentle essence on film. His sullen pictures of a young Michael Jackson still serves as a witness to his tortured childhood, a young boy both in the spotlight and running from it. Still, it’s Diltz contribution to the world of rock vinyl that will leave the longest-lasting impression.
Diltz is still up to his old tricks today. His photographs of current acts like Pearl Jam, Henry Rollins and Korn have caught the rage of a new group of rockers. As Glenn Frey of the Eagles once described Diltz’s work, “This is not history. This is evidence!”
