DEFINING MOMENTS<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\n

Photographer Danny Clinch captures\u00a0the essence of music\u2019s finest<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\n

Danny Clinch\u2019s unforgettable images have graced countless publications and album covers from Johnny Cash and Gregg Allman to Willie Nelson, the Fray and Bruce Springsteen (above, on a New Jersey back road in 2007). Before establishing himself as a premier lensmen, Clinch studied under the legendary Annie Leibovitz and Mary Ellen Mark. \u201cThese photographs are my journal,\u201d says Clinch. \u201cEach has a story that\u2019s as interesting as, hopefully, the photo itself.\u201d You can see more of his work at dannyclinch.com<\/a> and morrisonhotelgallery.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

JAY-Z, 1999 \u201cI had been hired by MTV to document part of the Hard Knock Life tour. Jay-Z and some guys were playing pool at a bar in Manhattan\u2019s SoHo district. They pulled out cigars and popped champagne, and were having a grand old time.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

KEITH RICHARDS, 2011 \u201cThe idea was to photograph Keith surrounded by records that he grew up with. I suggested he play along to some, the way that he probably did as a kid. At one point I thought, \u2018This guy\u2019s as photogenic as anyone I\u2019ve ever worked with.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

BOB DYLAN, 1999 \u201cDylan was intrigued by the history of L.A.\u2019s Ambassador Hotel, where this shot was taken. Someone had brought in a bunch of foreign-language newspapers. Right after this shot, a light fizzled. Bob said, \u2018Must be an omen. I think we\u2019re done.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

JOAN JETT, 2001 \u201cJoan was backstage getting ready for a show, and listening to a song by one of the artists she was set to perform with at a benefit concert in New Jersey. She was already standing just like that when I asked if I could take that shot.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

WILLIE NELSON, 2005 \u201cWillie\u2019s tour bus is his home, more so than any artist I\u2019ve photographed. I was doing a video for \u2018You Don\u2019t Know Me,\u2019 and he wanted a break to fix his braids. I had my camera around my neck and caught a great personal moment.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

PATTI SMITH, 2000 \u201cI was shooting Patti shopping in a New York City record store. She grabbed Coltrane\u2019s A Love Supreme and said, \u2018I have to buy it. I can\u2019t stand to see it in a bin, not being played.\u2019 She had six copies, and bought that one, too.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

BEN HARPER, 1999 \u201cWe were in a field in Claremont, California, where Ben grew up. He brought two Weissenborn guitars from his grandfather\u2019s music store, which was like a museum. Not long after, I made Pleasure and Pain, my first documentary film about Ben.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

GREGG ALLMAN, 2010 \u201cI had photographed the Allman Brothers quite a few times, and Gregg was in a great mood when we shot this in Savannah, Georgia. It was cold and raining, but he was game for anything. Standing among those big oak trees was magical.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n
