How To Become A Rockstar Photographer Podcast With Matthias Hombauer

Let me introduce my guest for today: Mr. Brian Rasic. Born in Yugoslavia, Brian began his career photographing local acts, and touring bands from abroad, in his hometown of Belgrade in the early seventies. He moved to London in 1979 and over the years has trained his lens on artists from every genre of popular music, including rock, pop, jazz, country, and blues. A dedicated fan of The Rolling Stones, Brian has covered their shows since the early 80's, capturing some exceptional moments along the way. In February 2006 he was the Stones' official photographer at their biggest-ever gig, in front of 2 million people on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro. Brian also worked with his personal heroes such as David Bowie and David Gilmour, who have also entrusted him with being their official photographer. We talked about how the music business changed and of Cours his experiences with the biggest rock stars.
