Queen of the Album Covers
Remember the LP jacket for The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan? How about Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue? Or maybe the cover of all covers Abbey Road by The Beatles? What’s the most obvious thing that gets overlooked in all these classic covers? The person behind the camera.
Fortunately, there’s a woman preserving this amazing art form. Autumn de Wilde has quietly been taking some of the most striking and memorable photos of musicians in the past decade or so. Her clientele includes the likes of Elliott Smith, The Decemberists, The White Stripes, Jenny Lewis, Devandra Banhart, Built to Spill, Spoon, Death Cab For Cutie and Beck – in all cases her work is unmistakable. Take a second to follow the jump and admire some of these awesome sleeves and visit her website if you get a chance.
