About the photographer:
Elliott Landy (1942)
A graduate of Bronx High School of Science and Baruch College of the City University of New York, he began his photographic career working with underground newspapers to express his own 'visual voice' in support of the growing wave of anti-war sentiment across the United States in the late 1960s.

His press card and camera not only allowed him to access the political scene but also to personally immerse himself in the new rock counterculture. Albert Grossman, who managed the careers of many of the most popular and famous folk and rock artists, including Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Peter, Paul and Mary, Richie Havens, and The Band, had seen the photos of Janis Joplin taken by Elliott and had invited him to photograph The Band. These photographs were used for the album Music From Big Pink. At that time, he met Bob Dylan, and his photograph of Dylan appeared on the cover of the September 1968 edition of the Saturday Evening Post.

Over the following years, his famous images included portraits of Bob Dylan (Nashville Skyline), The Band (Music From Big Pink), Janis Joplin (Big Brother & The Holding Company: Cheap Thrills), Van Morrison (Moondance), Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Joan Baez, Eric Clapton, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Frank Zappa, John Lee Hooker, and many others.

His iconic photographs of Dylan and The Band during their years of residence and recording in the small artistic community of Woodstock, in New York State, as well as his cover of the 1969 Woodstock festival, captivated a new generation seeking spiritual and artistic freedom. His images have become inseparable from the town, the famous 1969 music festival, and the utopian spirit of the Woodstock generation.

Since 1967, Elliott's works have been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world and published on the covers of major American and international magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times, Life, Rolling Stone, and the Saturday Evening Post.

It is represented worldwide by Magnum Photos, Getty, and several other local photo agencies.

He is the author of 8 books, including his latest monograph, The Band Photographs, 1968–1969, which is the most funded photographic book in Kickstarter history.

In 1990, Landy created and produced an award-winning video that appealed to both children and adults, 'Table Manners For Everyday Use' Table Manners Site.

Since 1997, he has launched a column and a website to recommend positive and life-affirming films, as well as films featuring strong, loving, and accomplished women. The website still exists but has been on pause since 1998. UpliftingFilms.com

He created a new interactive music and video application, LandyVision, which allows users to mix still images and videos with music to create a new form of musical and visual experience. Its launch is scheduled for the end of 2018.

After years of metaphysical observation, Landy has developed and offers 'Sharing Stillness' meditations, in which he transmits a spiritual (non-physical) energy that allows one to quickly reach a deep meditative state.
