Marshall photographed unguarded moments of his subjects, such as Janis Joplin lounging backstage with a bottle of Southern Comfort and Brian Jones and Jimi Hendrix strolling the Monterey Pop Festival fairgrounds. His camera captured Johnny Cash\u2019s groundbreaking concerts for prison reform at Folsom Prison and San Quentin Prison. In a career that ended with his untimely death in 2010, Marshall shot more than 500 album covers; his photographs are in private and museum collections around the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Jim Marshall Photography LLC was established with the primary goal to preserve and protect Marshall\u2019s extraordinary legacy as a discerning photojournalist and a pioneer of rock-and-roll photography. The estate is continuing the legacy of Jim Marshall through sales and licensing, exhibitions, publishing, and the development of a comprehensive catalog as a reference for the totality of his life\u2019s work. The Jim Marshall Estate is proud to collaborate with Shepard Fairey in bringing awareness to the social justice issues that underscored Marshall\u2019s passion for photography and life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s3\">For more information, visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/newsletter.obeygiant.com\/l\/sUErYAXhamgYj8gNBI3bCg\/QsLDk6vkmOSabPI9dD7QIw\/GzL3oGhczxv763NfnUrcJEQA\"><span class=\"s2\">www.jimmarshallphotographyllc.com<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>ABOUT SHEPARD FAIREY<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Shepard Fairey was born in Charleston, S.C.
