Acclaimed music photographer Elliott Landy, renowned for his iconic images of Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and The Band, unveils a deluxe two-volume set of photographs chronicling one of the most pivotal eras in rock and roll history. The Band Photographs, 1968–1969: Two-Volume Set will be released on November 25, 2025, by Weldon Owen International.
This extraordinary collection presents nearly 400 images capturing The Band at the height of their creative breakthrough, including rare and never-before-seen photographs from their sessions at the legendary Big Pink house in Woodstock, New York. Unearthed from a long-forgotten box of negatives, these intimate portraits showcase the group as they crafted their first two albums—Music from Big Pink and The Band—defining a sound that reshaped American music.
With his trusted lens, Landy documented The Band not just as performers, but as friends and artists in their natural surroundings—lounging at Big Pink, rehearsing in Woodstock, or walking through the Hudson Valley landscape. His relaxed and deeply personal approach allowed him to capture the spirit of five musicians discovering their singular voice.
“Elliott’s photos are more than just images,” said Weldon Owen International in announcing the book. “They are a living chronicle of The Band’s birth as cultural icons.”
