Henry Diltz's work as an iconic photographer in the 1960s and 1970s is celebrated for his unique "fly on the wall" style portraits and his ability to capture intimate moments with some of the world's most influential musicians.
“I was a musician before I was a photographer,” says Henry Diltz. “So I started out photographing my friends who then all happened to became famous!”
Diltz was the official photographer at the historic Woodstock Music festival in 1969, 1994, & 1999. He has shot over 250 album covers and continues to document the music scene in Southern California. Henry has recently been recognized with Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Grammys, the Lucie’s, the International Photography Hall of Fame, Abbey Road Studios, & the American Society of Photographers.
“What I do is instinctive, quiet and naturalistic. I want to document unobtrusively. I want to see who people really are. I frame up the situation and then I push the button. I always want it to look exactly the way it looks to me... Years ago, Harrison Ford said ‘Henry, you have a framing jones.’ I thought, ‘That’s it. I do!’”
