Recognized worldwide as one of the preeminent music photographers -- from rock to jazz and almost all points in between -- Jim Marshall has captured dozens of iconic images and shot more than 500 album covers in his 50-year career. Jim's status speaks not only to his remarkable eye, but also to the trust he's earned from musicians rangingfrom The Beatles to Miles Davis.

Now, working extensively with the team at Groovy Collectibles LLC, Jim Marshall has launched the official e-commerce site for the sale of his prints, memorabilia, and related rarities and collectibles.

MarshallPhoto.com currently offers 160 fine art images for sale: ranging from beautifully printed Silver Gelatin black & white images (think Jimi Hendrix at Monterey Pop or Johnny Cash flipping the bird); a stunning selection of black and white limited-edition
Platinum prints (such as Monk at his kitchen piano), and highly prized limited-edition Dye Transfer color prints (how about The Who rocking SF Civic Auditorium in 1971?). But this is only the beginning. By early 2010, Marshall photo.com plans to feature over300 of Jim's images: some iconic, others relatively unknown but equally striking.

Although Jim is rightly known for his images of jazz and rock music legends (from Ellington to Miles to Coltrane; The Beatles, Dylan and the San Francisco Scene), his wide-ranging portfolio includes remarkable shots of poor families in Appalachia, the 60s Civil Rights movement in Mississippi, the farm workers' advocate César Chávez, poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and TV stars such as Michael Douglas and Karl Malden. MarshallPhoto.com also sells collectibles, including one-of-a-kind signed magazines
from Jim's personal collection (how about Rolling Stone issues 68 & 69!), a variety of other music-related ephemera, as well as signed copies of Jim's in-print books. In addition to its e-commerce section, MarshallPhoto.com offers detailed information on Jim's remarkable life and career, as well on the prints and printmaking process.
