This Black and white Photograph of bob Marley was taken by Dennis Moore this was the first image Dennis Moore took of bob Marley in 1974 ahead of his first uk tour which Dennis joined him on the road for.
What i think makes this image iconic for me is that its a raw photo its not staged its taken in the moment of excitement ahead of his first uk tour the photo in itself had a sense of excitement and is almost ironic because after this photo was taken he went on to be one of the most successful artist in the world and this photo is literally at the beginning of his journey
"When you're looking at it, he's just turning towards the seat I'm sitting in, He just turned around and said, 'You ready, Dennis?'
This photo was the last photo Dennis Moore took of bob Marley late 1980 before he died
At this very moment on his guitar he started singing "redemption song" which had never been heard before
This photo does evoke a lot of emotion because the story behind it being that he was unknowingly singing and writing one of his most powerful songs
Dennis Moore captures real emotion in his photographs weather happy or sad because there taken in the moment.
