Robert M. Knight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert M. Knight has been photographing rock stars for 40 years. The first professional photographer to shoot Jimi Hendrix and the last to photograph Stevie Ray Vaughan, Knight has been in the business since 1968, and has quietly created a sprawling archive of classic rock n' roll stills, including the likes of Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Steve Vai, and Carlos Santana, to name a few.

Robert is part of The Guitar Center's Hollywood Rock Walk team, working alongside Rock Walk Director Dave Weiderman. Robert and partner Maryanne Bilham have an exhibition on the outside of the more than 150 Guitar Centers around America.

In 2008, Robert will be seen in a career-summing documentary.
