From Bill Bernstein (@billbernstein) • Instagram photos and videos – August 24, 1989 – This was the first photograph I ever made of Paul. He was in NYC to announce his world tour and I was hired to shoot him for Rolling Stone and for the cover of German GQ. I was a bit nervous but very excited to meet this legendary figure. I was under the gun to establish quick rapport. As soon as he arrived, he was charming and funny and, as we chatted, I just did what I do. We just clicked. He asked me to be his personal tour photographer the next day and a friendship and working relationship began that would last over twenty years.

From Bill Bernstein (@billbernstein) • Instagram photos and videos – One of my earliest portraits of Paul McCartney when I first started photographing him on the road in 1989. Here is a backstage moment with Paul in his dressing room as he works on a song. Capturing people in real and intimate moments like this, and telling a story, is what I love to do as a photographer.
