Already an established photographer for such magazines as Life and Look, Baron Wolman’s astounding contribution to the realm of rock ‘n’ roll began in the 1960s when he took on a freelance photography position for Rolling Stone magazine. From 1967 through 1970, he was their chief photographer and his pictures appeared in virtually every issue. Baron Wolman lived in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district during the “Summer of Love.” During the electrifying era, his lens captured such legendary 1960s icons as Janis Joplin, The Rolling Stones, Frank Zappa, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, Iggy Pop, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead, Phil Spector, Jim Morrison, Ike and Tina Turner, and Timothy Leary.
Since leaving Rolling Stone in 1970 he has focused on such diverse subjects as authors, fashionistas, professional sports, airplanes and bridges. A qualified pilot, he has also published several widely-praised collections of aerial photography and continues to exhibit his work around the world today.
