Robert Freeman (photographer) Robert Freeman (5 December 1936 – 6 or 7 November 2019) was an English photographer, and graphics designer, best known for his work with The Beatles.
Shooting some of the band's most recognizable images featured on several of their album covers. From 1963 to 1966, he worked extensively with the group and did the photography and design on five of their album sleeves released. Freeman designed the end credit sequences for their first two films and some of the graphics and photography displayed on the films' posters and promotional materials.
Freeman first came to prominence as a photojournalist working for the British newspaper The Sunday Times, for which he photographed a variety of subjects. He had also become noted for his black-and-white photographs of several jazz musicians including John Coltrane.
It was these photographs which impressed the Beatles' manager Brian Epstein and the Beatles themselves and led to his first commission in August 1963 to photograph the group. He was selected to photograph the entirety of the first ever Pirelli Calendar, shot in 1963 for the year 1964.
