(14 Dec 2013) A museum in Argentina is displaying more than 100 pictures from legendary British photographer Michael Cooper as tribute to the Rolling Stones, who celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2012.
Michael Copper's son Adam and curators put together a sample of the most popular photos from the collection during the almost 10 years he spent with the bad.
"Michael was a friend of theirs first, and a photographer second," said Adam Cooper. "Because he was inside of that sort of Rolling Stones family circle, it gave him the opportunity to hang out with them on a daily basis, in the studio, on the road, touring, whatever it may be."
Most of the black and white images show how Cooper was able to capture the Stones in relaxed mood.
From Bill Wyman looking at hats to Keith Richards backstage during a photo-shoot, the images show how Cooper captured some of the most memorable moments of the band in the 1960s.
"As you can see from the images, virtually none of it is set up in the studio and they're posing; it's real life, it's their life growing in the sixties," said Adam Cooper.
The exhibit features 100 original photos by Michael Cooper, five oil paintings and a DVD showing him on photo-shoots with the Stones.
"Stones 50" runs from 13 December until late February 2014, from where it will tour different Argentine cities and Latin American ones.
