Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Ramones’ debut album, the legendary lensman presents a collection of rare, live Ramones photos for download. Plus, personally signed, first edition, physical copies of his book "Rock N Roll Lens: 30 Years of Music Photography & Stories" are now available here at half price.
Self-taught photographer Jimmy Steinfeldt got his start in Minneapolis shooting local punk bands The Suburbs, The Replacements, and Husker Du on a cheap Minolta camera. His first big break came when Rolling Stone published his photo of Madonna in 1985 and his shot of Bob Dylan in 1986. Album covers for Miles Davis, Willie Nelson, John Denver, and Dee Dee Ramone, as well as live shots of Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, Guns & Roses, Prince, and many others followed.
Known as a great live action photographer, Jimmy’s pictures capture striking and spirited moments onstage that strongly highlight the performer’s personality. His knack for catching the right shot at the right time has a lot to do with being a musician himself and inherently understanding and anticipating the way performers move onstage.
Thousands of his images have been seen in countless newspapers, magazines, books, album covers, and online publications spanning the course of three decades. As a result, the LA transplant has twice received the Photographer of the Year award from the Los Angeles Music Awards.
Exactly 40 years ago this month, the Ramones were in New York City recording what would become their massively influential self-titled debut album (Released April 23, 1976). To commemorate this landmark recording, we are partnering with Steinfeldt to share an archive of rare Ramones photos. [Jimmy has never seen any of these photos published anywhere, except for the one of Joey Ramone in his book.] Enter your email to unlock the 12-image collection. For a limited time, BitTorrent fans can get a copy of Steinfeldt’s book, Rock N Roll Lens: 30 Years of Music Photography & Stories for half price here.
