Capturing the Legends: Photographer Neal Preston's Rock Odyssey

Hey, Lit Listeners, prepare for an epic journey into the heart of rock history with a living legend behind the lens—Neal Preston. In this exclusive Rock is Lit episode, we step into Neal’s unparalleled career spanning five decades. We talk about his background in NY and how he developed a love of music and photography, his unique style and philosophy as a photojournalist, his experiences working with Led Zeppelin in the hedonistic 1970s, his 50-year friendship with Cameron Crowe, and the stories-behind-the-story of ‘Almost Famous’.

Also, get ready for a deep dive into Neal’s iconic photograph of Jimmy Page at Kezar Stadium in 1973, which plays a major role in my rock novel, ‘Searching for Jimmy Page’. And, of course, Neal shares captivating tales from his 2017 book, ‘Exhilarated and Exhausted’.
