Harry Benson: Getting by with a little help from his Fab Four friends

IT WAS his intimate pictures of the Beatles that turned Harry Benson into a world-famous photographer. Now Glasgow-born Benson has compiled a new set of photos of the Fab Four.The book, called Harry Benson – The Beatles, includes some familiar images, including the iconic photo of the Beatles enjoying a pillow fight in a hotel in Paris.However, Benson says he has raided his archives for alternative shots of the band on their break-through tours of the US and Europe. His luminous black-and-white photographs show the Beatles composing, performing, encountering their fans, relaxing, and engaging with each other, while trying to cope with their increasingly isolating fame.
