Marianne Faithfull, 1981

The portrait captures Marianne’s raw edge perfectly, and the archival print quality from the gallery makes every shadow feel intentional. It’s framed and hanging in my hallway now, and I catch myself stopping to look at it every time I pass by.

The grain and shadow work in this Lynn Goldsmith portrait really capture Faithfull's raw edge from that era. It arrived well-protected and the print quality does justice to the original photo, a solid piece for any serious music photography collection.

The print quality really brings out the texture in the 1981 shot, making it feel more intimate than a typical gallery piece. I just wish the frame options were a bit more varied, as the standard black feels a touch plain for such a striking portrait.
