The photographs of Linda McCartney, also known as Linda Eastman, chronicled the musical revolution of the 1960s and 1970s with pictures of many leading rock musicians, including The Rolling Stones, The Greatful Dead, Frank Zappa, The Who and The Beatles.

Linda married former Beatle Paul McCartney in 1969 and performed alongside him -- reluctantly and at her husband's insistence -- on his albums and on world tours in his post-Beatles endeavours.

Her passion for photography began in the early 1960s. Lacking any formal training beyond two photography lessons at night school in Arizona, she drew her inspiration and influences from the photography of Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Edward Weston and Edward Steichen.

Linda's photography, with its distinct style of capturing the unposed and the naturally lit, has received worldwide acclaim. She was voted U.S. Female Photographer of the Year. Her pictures have been exhibited in 70 cities in 12 countries and appear in collections at the National Portrait Galleries in both the United Kingdom and the United States.
