Henry Diltz Biography

In the world of rock n’ roll photographers there are none as extraordinary as Henry Diltz. A founding member of the Modern Folk Quartet Diltz is as much at home as a musician on tour as he is a visual historian of the last four decades of popular music. The rapport he’s developed with his musician friends along with his down-to-earth-grin and frequent laugh enables him to capture the candid shots that convey a rare feeling of trust and intimacy with his subjects
For Diltz the pictures began with a $20 second-hand Japanese camera purchased on tour with the Modern Folk Quartet. When MFQ disbanded he embarked on his photographic career with an album cover for The Lovin’ Spoonful. Despite his lack of formal training Diltz easily submerged himself in the world of music: the road the gigs the humor the social consciousness the psychedelia the up and down times.
For over 40 years his work has graced hundreds of album covers and has been featured in books magazines and newspapers. His unique artistic style has produced powerful photographic essays of Woodstock The Monterey Pop Festival The Doors Crosby Stills Nash & Young Jimi Hendrix and scores of other legendary artists. Diltz continues his distinguished career generating new and vibrant photographs that inspire the rock n’ roll fan in each of us. Henry Diltz is a partner in and is exclusively published and represented by the Morrison Hotel Gallery.
