Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, 1970 The "Whoosh” Picture by photographer Jorgen Angel


Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, 1970


The "Whoosh" Picture. From photographer Jorgen Angel: 

"On 28 February 1970 I took this picture at a Led Zeppelin concert at K.B. Hallen in Copenhagen, Denmark. I was 18 years old and working free-lance as a rock photographer. It was an amazing concert. The photo is the most popular among all my photos and it has become my signature photo. The biggest recognition came when Jimmy Page himself chose the photo as one of five best taken of him. Jimmy included it when he made an exclusive collection of art prints in a Limited Edition, long sold out. It was Jimmy who named the picture The Whoosh Picture. The image is included in the National Portrait Gallery in London.
