The German photographer shot some of the earliest and most striking images of the Beatles and had lasting impact on their visual style
Astrid Kirchherr, the German photographer who shot some of the earliest and most striking images of the Beatles and had a lasting impact on their visual style, has died in Hamburg, the German city where she was introduced to the group.
Her death was first announced by Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn, who tweeted Friday that Kirchherr made an “immeasurable” contribution to the group and was “intelligent, inspirational, innovative, daring, artistic, awake, aware, beautiful, smart, loving and uplifting.” From left, Pete Best, George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Stuart Sutcliffe at Hugo Haase Fun Fair in 1960.
Kirchherr had dreamed of photographing “charismatic” men and found her ideal subjects in the Beatles, especially their bassist at the time, Stuart Sutcliffe, a gifted painter. They quickly fell in love, even though she spoke little English and he knew little German.“Stuart was a very special person, and he was miles ahead of everybody,” she told NPR in 2010. “You know, as far as intelligent and artistic feelings are concerned, he was miles ahead.
