Initials and date inscribed on the negative, visible on the contact sheet, under the first image, top left hand side.
In 1981, photographer Peter Strongwater captured a series of iconic black-and-white portraits of Mick Jagger. One of the most famous images from this session features Jagger smiling broadly, which was used for the cover of Interview Magazine in August 1981.
The cover was famously stylised by artist Richard Bernstein, who painted over Strongwater’s original photograph to create the signature vibrant, high-contrast look associated with the magazine.
This vintage contact sheet offers collectors a rare glimpse into a photoshoot of one of the most recognizable figures in modern cultural history.
