For nearly 40 years, legendary rock photographer Neil Zlozower has documented an astonishing who's who of the most influential players of rock and metal guitar from the 1970s to today. Six-String Heroes collects his killer shots of the best players ever to wield an axe, including candid, studio, and live photos of such giants as Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Slash, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Dave Navarro, Dimebag Darrell, John Frusciante, Joe Satriani, Angus Young, and many more. With a foreword by Steve Vai, notes by Zlozower, and short texts by some of the guitarists themselves, Six-String Heroes captures the power and technique of the instrument through the lens of its legendary players a must-have for guitar fans everywhere.
Neil Zlozower was born and raised in Los Angeles. He first picked up the camera at age 14, when he ventured into a pawn shop and bought a Honeywell Pentax with no light meter and a Vivitar 135 lens with a stripped focusing ring - which meant he had to step forward and backward to focus!
His first great shot was in November, 1969 at age 14 - The Rolling Stones at the Forum. Next was The Who in 1970 outdoors at Anaheim Stadium; with Tri X film and plenty of light, he was able to shoot stop-action. One of his best shots was at age 18 at San Francisco’s Winterland in 1972 of Mick Jagger onstage with a terrorized look on his face.
The December book event co-sponsored by Guitar Center will feature all of Zlozower’s books. Fine art photographs of famous Zlozower images will be on display.
This Saturday over at Mr. Musichead Gallery, Neil Zlozower will be there to sign copies of his new photography book "Six String Heroes" which was just released this past October.
