Description

Photographer David Hurn was asked by the director Dick Lester to photograph the Beatles from a “sociological” rather than press perspective during the filming of the 1964 film A Hard Days Night. Hurn witnessed the pressures that Beatlemania exerted on the Fab Four. “In 1963, the Beatles had gained unprecedented fame and status. It could be argued that their only next step could either be down, or to individually go in new directions,” says Hurn. “They were at crossroads in their respective careers, and yet had already transformed the music industry.”
