Dennis Hopper Photos Collection 02
Dennis Hopper
It was James Dean that gave Dennis Hopper his first camera and Hopper carried his camera with him everywhere he went in the Sixties shooting celebrities and street scenes, all in black and white when color photography was all the rage at the time. TASCHEN published a gorgeous, limited edition book on his photography entitled "Dennis Hopper: Photographs 1961-1967” and I was struck by his images, 400 photos that survived are all in here. They seem raw, but glamourous and moody and show what a great talent Dennis Hopper is with his camera. They are quite a testament of that time and I hope that TASCHEN will publish a smaller, wide release run book, as it truly is a treasure.
