Joel Brodsky

Joel Brodsky (1939--2007) was an American photographer who shot more than 400 album covers across rock, soul and jazz from the mid-1960s to the late 1970s. His most enduring image is the 1967 "Young Lion" portrait of Jim Morrison of The Doors, taken in his New York studio shortly after the band signed to Elektra; the same session produced the cover art for the album Strange Days and the iconic shirtless "Lizard King" pictures (Wikipedia)
