This is already my 45th interview for my show and so far it has been an awesome journey. Personally, it still feels like a dream to talk to the best music photographers on this planet and learn from their experiences. And I have to admit I am still nervous before every interview, which is a good sign, cause then I am 100% focused and try to deliver the best show I can. So, thanks so much to everyone who joins me on this crazy project and listens to my podcast. Without you, this project could have never been such a success.
Let me introduce my guest for today: Mr. Brian Rasic.
Born in Yugoslavia, Brian began his career photographing local acts, and touring bands from abroad, in his hometown of Belgrade in the early seventies. He moved to London in 1979 and over the years has trained his lens on artists from every genre of popular music, including rock, pop, jazz, country, and blues.
A dedicated fan of The Rolling Stones, Brian has covered their shows since the early 80’s, capturing some exceptional moments along the way.
In February 2006 he was the Stones’ official photographer at their biggest-ever gig, in front of 2 million people on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro.
Brian also worked with his personal heroes such as David Bowie and David Gilmour, who have also entrusted him with being their official photographer.
We talked about how the music business changed and of Cours his experiences with the biggest Rock Stars.
