This photograph of Noel and Liam Gallagher is from a while back. I was assigned to photograph the brothers by Norman Wonderly. At the time it was well known that the brothers didn't always see eye to eye. I had to be considerate of the situation in planning out the shoot. So the plan was to photograph the bandmates separately to avoid any possible conflict and to then composite them into a single image, which is the one you see here (it was early days of digital). I did eventually photograph the brothers together, and they were incredibly accommodating and a lot of fun. I recall Noel calling me a “geezer” and had no idea of what that meant, apparently it was good.
I prepared the composite and sent it off for overnight delivery. Norman had no idea of what I was creating for him and as an artist you always wonder how your work will be received by a client. Directly after getting the image Norman called to say that up to that point it was the best image he’d ever received from a photographer. Still thankful for the assignment and to the band.

Will Ackerman has a wonderful talent and an incredible life, as the founder of Windham Hill Records and a Grammy winner you can imagine all the wonderful experiences he’s had, all over the globe. I’m grateful to have spent a few days with him at his home in Vermont and to have captured some classic images that will remind me of our time together, for years to come.
