Dundee lensman who snapped iconic Beatles Abbey Road photo remembered on what would ...
He was the Dundee photographer who took the iconic image of one of music’s most famous albums.
Paul McCartney chose Iain MacMillan’s shot for the Abbey Road cover in 1969.
The street would eventually become as famous as the music itself thanks to the photograph Iain produced.
Mr MacMillan’s work with John Lennon and Yoko Ono also included working on record sleeves for Live Peace in Toronto, Give Peace a Chance and Happy Xmas (War is Over).
He also shot the album cover for Something’s Burning by Kenny Rogers and took portraits of various celebrities from the world of sport, acting and pop music including Stevie Wonder, Twiggy, Floyd Paterson and Maggie Smith.
Mr MacMillan’s rich legacy in print is now being fondly remembered by those who knew him best to mark what would have been his 80th birthday.
