A fisheye lens is an ultra wide-angle lens that produces strong visual distortion intended to create a wide panoramic or hemispherical image. Portraits shot with a fish-eye lens are a little strange and funny. Mass-produced fisheye lenses for photography first appeared in the early 1960s and the Stones have already shot with them since then. Here are some of interesting shots that you've probably never seen before:

The Big Hits (High Tide & Green Grass) cover shot is by Jerry Schatzberg.
Is the one of Mick above from the Child of the Moon video shoot?
(That's actually the only one I don't remember seeing - but never mind!

Here's another David Bailey shot - I love this one. Keith looks like a flash-forward to about 1983


- 1968 by David Bailey

I think that the photographer was George Harrison himself.

My favorite fisheye shot is the UK High Tide and Green Grass classic photo!

These are great photos, are there any shots with Mick Taylor in them?

This is Primrose Hill again (location of Between The Buttons cover shoot) isn't it? - a few streets away from where I grew up. I seem to recall David Bailey had a studio down there.

Great pictures. Thanks

This is their best sleeve ever. Brian had it down. I mean talk about attitude and image. Sorry Mick...

Hey, is Brian's left hand bandaged in that pic?

Yes. He hurt it hitting Anita (so the story goes).
It's also bandaged on the Ed Sullivan show taped around the same time at the photo.

Brian looks way cool. The rest of the band look like morons

Th appear to have on their stage make up in that photo, or perhaps they are all just nicely tanned from their time in Hawaii.

Yes but that's just a story, we dont know why it was bandaged. Could be just one of the many made up stories about the band.
