David Redfern was born June 7, 1936 in Ashbourne, Derbyshire England. His images have formed an integral part of the world of music. The ability to capture the moment and bring the worlds most famous artists within reach of us all is perhaps his greatest gift. His collection includes many famous images that have become iconic. In 1999 he published a book about his life, The Unclosed Eye. Many of the images that have appeared each month on the Wilson Benesch web site have been taken from this book and the huge Redfern collection. The book is available from Redferns, and for anyone with even the slightest interest in music is a fascinating read. An industrious photographer for 45 years, his collection is estimated at over 10,000 pictures.
