Photographed by Iain Macmillan.
Chosen because of work he had done for Yoko.
He was only given about 15 minutes to get the shot. Standing on a ladder in the road, He took only about eight pictures of the Beatles crossing in front of Abbey Road Studio while a policemen held traffic.
Prior to the shoot, Paul McCartney had sketched his ideas for the cover. Macmillan added a more detailed illustration.
After the shoot, McCartney studied the transparencies and chose the fifth one for the album cover. It was the only one when all four Beatles were walking in step. It also satisfied The Beatles' desire for the world to see them walking away from the studios they had spent so much of the last seven years inside.Hayley x
