Paul,  the last of the Beatles to marry poses with his bride Linda Eastman and her daughter Heather after their wedding 

She was not related to the George Eastman family of Eastman Kodak fame. Rather, her father, Leopold Vail Epstein, was the son of Jewish Russian immigrants and had changed his name to Lee Eastman.

After high school, Linda headed west and was living in Arizona where a friend encouraged her to take an art history course at the Tucson Art Center with Hazel Archer.

Archer introduced Linda to the great photographers Walker Evan, Dorothea Lange, Ansel Adams and told Eastman to ‘Borrow a camera, buy a roll of film and take pictures’.

‘She inspired me to become a photographer, because of the photographs she showed me, unlike fashion photography, they were photographs of life, of people, of sadness, of poverty, of nature, everything – I loved it’.

Back in Manhattan, Linda’s photographic break came while working as a receptionist at Town and Country Magazine.

She used an extra invite to a Rolling Stone promotional party to shoot pictures of the band. That was the beginning of her career chronicling the musical revolution of the Sixties.

She met Paul McCartney in London in 1967 at the Bag O’Nails Club and met up again days later at the launch of their album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

The couple married in March 1969, had four children together and remained close until her untimely death of advancing breast cancer at age fifty-six in 1998.

These photographs appear in Life In Photographs by Linda McCartney and, in a new edition of the book published by Taschen.
