Robert Whitaker
This photographer was mainly known for his work with The Beatles in the late sixties, with whom he became very close friends with. He spent many following years by the side, photographing them at work, rest and play.
Robert Whitaker's success with The Beatles allowed him unlimited access to the London underground scene where he witnessed the changes and impact The Beatles made on life in the sixties.
One of the more popular images by Whitaker became the cover for their album 'Yesterday and Today' it was shortly named the 'Butcher' photograph and seems very oddly styled with the broken dolls and meat placed around them.
Quirkiness could be used in our photography and styling to create an unusual edge as in the sixties The Beatles invented a new norm and we could use this edge as a new trend or fashion in today's industry.
