Former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney called him an imaginative and true original thinker.  He was speaking about the photographer who shot the band in half shadow for the album “Meet the Beatles”

Robert Freeman has died at the age of 82 although no further details have been released.

Sir Paul says the album cover wasn’t a carefully arranged studio shot but instead was taken quickly in the corridor of a hotel.

Freeman also shot the cover of the album “Rubber Soul.”
