Lynn Goldsmith – Michael Jackson, Boston 1981

Michael Jackson. I was in Boston on the road with the Jackson’s Triumph tour. I went to Micael’s hotel room around sunset and found him alone reading fairy tales. I asked if he was interested in making photographs in the magic light. He wanted to know what magic light was and followed me up to the roof. While I was shooting, he took off his shirt. Until that moment he had been an innocent child in my eyes. I now saw a man there too.

Lynn Goldsmith’s imagery is in numerous collections: The Smithsonian, The Polaroid Collection, The Kodak Collection, The Museum of Modern Art, The Chicago Museum of Contemporary Photography, and the permanent collection of Museum Folkwang. She is a multi-awarded portrait photographer whose work has appeared on and between the covers of Life, Newsweek, Time, Rollingstone, Sports Illustrated, People, Elle, Interview, The New Yorker, etc. Her subjects have varied from entertainment personalities to sports stars, from film directors to authors, from the extra-ordinary to the ordinary man on the street.
