About this event

    Henry Diltz is an American icon—an extraordinary photographer whose lens captured the soul of a generation. As the official photographer for Woodstock and a founding member of the famed Morrison Hotel Gallery, Diltz has chronicled over five decades of music history with rare intimacy and timeless style. His photographs of The Doors, Joni Mitchell, Crosby, Stills & Nash, James Taylor, Paul McCartney, and countless others, have graced more than 250 album covers and magazines. They are not just images, they are significant cultural artifacts. His photography was recently featured in the acclaimed docuseries, “Laurel Canyon,” which reignited global fascination with the California counterculture that forever changed music history. With an uncanny ability to be both everywhere and invisible at once, Henry didn’t just shoot legends, he was part of the circle. His work is a living, breathing archive of the moments that defined rock and roll. Now, his photos are coming to Boston for a rare exhibit and special event.

    At this very special engagement, you’ll join Henry Diltz for a meet & greet reception hosted by Emerson College President, Dr. Jay Bernhardt, followed by a slide show and stories about his extraordinary career as they can only be told by this singular photographer.

    There will also be a complimentary public gallery showing from 10AM—5PM earlier that day featuring approximately two dozen original photographs.
